Crustc translates rustc to C
Crustc is an open-source project that translates the Rust compiler, rustc, into C. The repository has drawn attention on Hacker News because it attempts a large-scale source-to-source translation of a major compiler codebase. The project is notable as a developer tool experiment, but it is still a technical proof-of-concept rather than a finished replacement.
