I have written a quarter of a million (SWAG) lines of Fortran in my lifetime. If I never write another line I will be happy. But I will write more Fortran next Tuesday. Converting it all to C++ cannot come soon enough.

Converting Fortran or C++ to Rust is non trivial. I have actually considered it. Shoot, converting Fortran to C++ is non trivial.

I would guess that a straight translation of Fortran to C++ could be
automated. However, there doesn't seem to be any point in it unless
you're going to make use of the object-oriented capabilities of C++.
Then, of course, you're looking at a complete refactoring, which would,
indeed, be non-trivial.
I'm not too keen on trusting an automated translation of what I think
Lynn has said is a couple of million lines of code
I had to clean up after an automated conversion of something much
smaller and it wasn't fun
The current calculation engine compiles to three Win32 DLLs and four Win32 EXEs. There is 850,000 lines of F77 code and 50,000 lines of C++ code.
The Windows Win32 user interface is 450,000 lines of C++ that compiles to a single Win32 EXE. The Excel transfer tool is about 70,000 lines of C++ that compiles to a single Win32 EXE. The input manager tool is about 10,000 lines of C++ that compiles to a single Win32 EXE. The license manager is 20,000 lines of C++ that compiles to a single Win32 EXE.
