>plan to do auto conversion of C++ to Rust

This... is news to me? I'm pretty sure we have no such plans at all.

https://github.com/mozilla/servo/issues/1289

I think it was this issue that talked about porting using Java -> Rust and C++ -> Rust translator.

Oh right, that's a special case. The Gecko HTML5 parser is already generated by a specially-targetted Java -> C++ translator. We want to use the same code and make it go Java -> Rust, that's all.

Thanks, didn't know that.
