LLMs are making it easier than ever to translate C++ projects to Rust but what happens when everyone starts translating on their own? Without coordination, we risk fragmenting open source ecosystems, increasing maintenance costs, duplicating efforts, and creating tension with the C++ maintainers who have spent years building and supporting these projects.
Join us for a community meetup to talk about how we can approach C++ to Rust translation thoughtfully and collaboratively. We’ll explore how to coordinate efforts, work with existing maintainers, reduce fragmentation, and make sure these new tools strengthen, not divide the open source ecosystems we all rely on.
If you’re working in Rust, C++, open source maintenance, or AI-assisted code translation, we’d love to have you in the conversation.
Note: capacity in this room is strictly limited to 30 participants. If you wish to continue the conversation with a larger group, we invite you to have it in the hallway, the Rust Foundation Forest seating, or on the Palais floor 0.
