lipstick: a Rust-like syntax frontend for C
Some intersection with https://github.com/jameysharp/corrode in theory right? Maybe it's saner actually to start with corrode-to-lipstick (there has to be a good project name here) and then it's perhaps easier to turn lipstick into safe Rust?

C2rust: Transpile C to Rust
I converted https://github.com/FirefoxGraphics/qcms and then refactored it to mostly safe Rust. I ran into a number of issues https://github.com/immunant/c2rust/issues?q=is%3Aissue+autho... but it generally worked ok.
I found refactoring the resulting Rust code somewhat error prone and didn't have great success with the automated tools. I'd recommend having a good test suite and suggest adjusting the C before the conversion to avoid using C features that don't translate well like the C preprocessor.
