GoKawiilEurydice project compiles Rust code into readable C output
Eurydice is a new tool that converts Rust programs into C code while preserving the original code's structure, rather than optimizing or obscuring it. Started in 2023, it is part of the Aeneas formal-verification project maintained by researchers at Inria and Microsoft, and has already been used to translate post-quantum-cryptography routines from Rust into C.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
High-assurance software development often relies on verification and compliance tooling built around C, so a Rust-to-C translator could let developers write in Rust while still satisfying existing audit and certification pipelines. It could also serve as a bridge for environments that have a C compiler available but lack Rust tooling, potentially broadening where Rust-originated code can be deployed.
- Eurydice translates Rust source code into clean, structurally faithful C code.
- It is maintained under the Aeneas formal-verification project by researchers from Inria and Microsoft.
- It has already been applied to translate post-quantum-cryptography routines from Rust to C.
