This isn't a new project. Also tooling is a thing & in bigger companies you have to deal with inertia (retraining people is hard). I think at some point the bullet has to be bitten. I also think there's some value in figuring out how to write C/C++ -> Rust translators to automate some of this process. That's the only way we can get ahead of the curve.

It's possible to migrate C to Rust function by function, not sure if anyone has figured out something similar for C++ yet though:
