Swift mentioned latest NSA/CISA publication on memory-safe languages

I saw Swift was mentioned in a recent PDF published by NSA/CISA on the topic of memory safety.

This got me wondering if the Swift community has any tooling initiatives for helping port C/C++ code to Swift?

If it wasn't already obvious, the report I cite mentions Swift in the MSL category, not the unsafe one.

Swift has built-in C/C++/Obj-C interop and mixed language projects can be built using CMake or SwiftPM.

If you're talking about things like automated conversion then not as far as I'm aware.
