Having written enough Rust code, I could bet that it won't be an easy task to rewrite C/C++ code with a borrow checked language. You just need to write code differently for this approach to work.

This is kind of the argument though. People are likely to migrate existing code if it’s easy enough. If they have to rewrite the whole thing, then it’s not often going to be done.
