Programming

The rust part, if done well, would be a good step.

We're talking machine translating the whole codebase from c to rust like one would translate a book from one language to another, here (i.e., without the machine actually understanding a single word, much less long groups of them).

The result will basically be something like this:

unsafe {
 //insert the entire codebase here,
 //mangled beyond recognition
}
