Mistral AI filed the lead
Mistral helped a European energy operator migrate 40,000 lines of Fortran 77 to C++. Learn how it was done, and the lessons to carry forward.
why it matters
This matters because it's a concrete example of AI agents handling one of the hardest, least glamorous jobs in software—migrating a large legacy codebase (40,000 lines of Fortran 77 to C++) rather than just generating greenfield snippets. If you're building agentic tooling, the practical lessons from a real production migration are more useful than demos, since translating brittle old code with domain-specific logic tests whether your agent can preserve behavior, not just produce plausible output.
microstory
Mistral AI published the signal: Modernizing complex legacy code with AI agents.. The story is not the headline alone. Mistral helped a European energy operator migrate 40,000 lines of Fortran 77 to C++. Learn how it was done, and the lessons to carry forward. For a builder, the move is simple: verify the source, check what changed in the stack, then decide if this earns action or only a watchlist slot. Boostor marks it watch with importance 42.
