c2rust https://github.com/immunant/c2rust : > C2Rust helps you migrate C99-compliant code to Rust. The translator (or transpiler), c2rust transpile, produces unsafe Rust code that closely mirrors the input C code. The primary goal of the translator is to preserve functionality; test suites should continue to pass after translation. crust https://github.com/NishanthSpShetty/crust : > C/C++ to Rust transpiler "CRustS: A Transpiler from Unsafe C to Safer Rust" (2022) https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=related:WIDYx_PvgNoJ:sc... rust-bindgen https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-bindgen/ : Automatically generates Rust FFI bindings to C (and some C++) libraries nushell/nushell looks like it has cool features and is written in rust. awesome-rust > Applications > System Tools https://github.com/rust-unofficial/awesome-rust#system-tools awesome-rus
