Rewrite code in a new language

Port an algorithm or module to a different language while preserving behavior — idiomatic in the target, with edge cases and caveats noted.

Rewriting a working module in a new language is risky because the original encodes years of bug fixes and edge-case handling that are easy to drop in translation. The naive rewrite works on the happy path and fails on the cases that mattered enough to be fixed originally.

This tool preserves behavior, not just structure: it ports the logic into idiomatic target-language code and calls out the edge cases and language differences that could change results. It is a draft to verify with tests against the original — exactly how a careful rewrite proceeds.

Frequently asked questions

Will the rewrite behave the same? +

It aims to preserve behavior and flags edge cases and language differences that could change results, but you should verify with tests against the original.

How do I verify the port? +

Generate unit tests covering the original’s edge cases and run them against the rewrite to confirm parity.

Does it produce idiomatic code? +

Yes — it writes in the target language’s conventions rather than transliterating the source style.
