Has anyone put this to serious use? I played around with it at some point when it was fairly new and at that time I was able to transpile the C into Rust just fine, but that didn't help me much. The idea was to be able to use the Rust toolchain to better understand the code, but the resulting Rust code was even less understandable, and also much harder to refactor. In this case I wasn't attempting a rewrite per se, just trying to understand a C codebase plagued with memory safety issues. Quickly gave up on this avenue at that point and just started carefully refactoring the C to make the bugs easier to shake out.

Would love to see a technical write up of someone outside Immunant using this on a real world codebase for whatever purpose.
