We had Fortran converted to ADA semi automatically at a place I worked.
We called it Adatran.
That code was weird and very hard to maintain. That goodness it was just small functions.
- dvh 4mo agoReal fortran programmer can write fortran code in any language
- classified 4mo agoBut only as long as they don't eat quiche.
- embedding-shape 4mo agoIf you ran that converter multiple times, did you get the same output? I think that's the crux with automated codebase conversion via LLMs, I'd really want to focus on making everything as reproducible as possible first, not use a general agent and just vibe it together.
- acomjean 4mo agoWe’d get the same every time. It wasn’t great but it did work.
- elnatro 4mo agoThis is my fear wrt Bun. That they have translated Zig into non-idiomatic Rust.
