Just a complete shot in the dark because I realize how niche it is, but does anyone here have any experience with machine-porting cobol to rust?

I’m not involved in the project wanting to do this, but I was asked if I knew of any such conversion tools. My suggestion was to look for cobol-to-c, and then c-to-rust tools (because I know those tools do exist), but if anyone here has any experiences and tips, I’d be happy to forward them.

I also suggested looking into using LLM’s, but uploading the code to remote servers is a no-go.

I have some vague memory of having seen someone talk about cobol-to-rust conversions on here, but I couldn’t find it, so maybe it was on a different forum.
