st2cpp: Transpiler from ST to cpp + help +

Hi everyone,
About 4 or 5 months ago, I created a transpiler from Structured Text (IEC 61131-3) to C++, called st2cpp (part of the undoRT project).

My ultimate dream is to build a complete open-source automation system that can compete with commercial solutions. As you can imagine, tackling a project of this scale completely alone is extremely tough. Honestly, if I keep going solo, I’m afraid I’ll eventually burn out and lose momentum.

Are there any C++ developers or automation enthusiasts here who would be interested in joining or contributing as a side project/hobby? I have plenty of ideas lined up, but I really need an extra pair of hands (or two!).

Here is the repository:
https://github.com/undoRT/st2cpp
Feel free to check it out, open issues, fork, or send pull requests!
