This seems like an excellent future use case for a fully automated process by a large language model that translates a non-trivial C codebase to Safe Rust in under an hour with high accuracy. However, as the author noted, even after some attempts with Cursor at the end of development, the tool wasn't able to accelerate the translation effectively (in mid-2025). So while the potential is promising, it appears we're still some way off.
