Ask HN: What tool would you use to convert a whole project to another language?

Use case: A colleague implemented an HTTP REST API using PHP. For some specific internal reasons, we would like to convert the whole PHP project to NodeJS. All files wouldn't fit into GPT-4 context. How would you achieve this task?

Have you tried just opening it in Cursor.sh and saying "make this a [language] project instead of PHP"? Curious about the results you'd get.

Could consider something like Sourcetrail or Codeporing
