How does it perform on real codebases? Does converted code compiles properly? Or it requires manual fixes?

  Thanks for the question! On real codebases: Currently, the transpiler works best on "clean" C++ (logic-heavy code, algorithms, and data structures). It can handle a significant portion of the syntax, but for large, complex codebases using heavy template metaprogramming or platform-specific APIs, there are still limitations. Compilation & Manual Fixes: Does it compile out-of-the-box? For small to medium-sized snippets and standard logic, yes. However, for real-world projects, manual fixes are usually required, especially for: - Rust's Borrow Checker: C++'s pointers don't always map 1:1 to Rust's ownership model. The transpiler generates code that is syntactically correct, but you might need to adjust lifetimes or use Arc/Mutex where C++ was more permissive. - External Dependencies: Mapping C++ libraries to their Rust/Go equivalents still requires some manual configuration. Goal isn't necessarily "100% automated migration" (which is the holy grail), but rather to automate the tedious 80-90% of the porting process, allowing developers to focus on fixing the architectural differences. I have some examples in the repo, and looking for more "real-world" test cases to improve the conversion logic
