Although not perfect, assuming all source code is available, clang and visual c++ checkers can do similar checks.

So it is always a matter of equating the value of a full rewrite and how well the checkers are able to provide valuable feedback.

Which I concede Rust will be much better, however then there is the whole loss of ecosystem to also consider.

Aren't these two statements contradicting each other?
