DARPA has proposed a new initiative to automatically convert old C code into Rust using AI technology. This effort aims to enhance software security and reliability by leveraging the strengths of Rust, known for its memory safety features, over the older C language. The project is part of DARPA's broader strategy to modernize legacy systems and improve the robustness of critical software infrastructure. The initiative highlights the use of AI, Rust, C, software, security, and LLM technologies.
Found in my tweet drafts today, but never hit send on 2/17. Now ithere's a DARPA program to do this. -- I was wondering exactly this as well. It seems like LLMs could potentially identify the underlying intent even in imperfect C/C++ code and translate to idiomatic Rust... https://t.co/9MDaIRCTRJ

DARPA suggests turning old C code automatically into Rust – using AI, of course #ai #rust #c #Software #security #llm https://t.co/RygzH43b31 https://t.co/PJs2NAJAdZ
