Interesting, but unpractical. As I know there is no way to perform automatic translation from one programming language to another without producing code which looks terrible in the destination language.

In this particular example I see no real safety benefits. If the source program is buggy, the result translated program willcrash at runtime, but if it's (mostly) bug-free and UB-free, such translation gives no benefits.
