as many "transpilers" / compilers, whatever you might name them, it lacks example input output.
I want to see how my new rust code base looks light, does it compile with some heuritics, or just 1:1 C to rust primitives?

Oh great, I can't wait to hear this "well, actually"[1] for the rest of my life.

Rust has had iron oxide puns for names for a very long time, even from people who know where Graydon got the name.

#14The code has a lot of special cases. Could these be eliminated using machine translation techniques?

This is of itself a misunderstanding of the origin: that's one of many reasons it's called Rust, not the only one. There's no single reason for the name.

#16Missed the chance to name it "Crust."
There are already several projects called crust, including https://crates.io/crates/crust

I would hope that when this project is far enough along to feasibly do such a thing, that people don't. It's really rude.

I guess the next stage would involve translating common non-idiomatic patterns into idiomatic Rust. Looks like this could be a job for a community-managed database!
