Looks like it's meant to enable projects similar to how the Go compiler/toolchain was initially translated (with the like-named c2go) and then gradually rewritten over time into idiomatic golang. It's easy to see that this could be a much more tenable project then a grand rewrite that has two codebases iterating forward in parallel for a time.
