I am glad I rewrote the Borland C version of Leo to the Python
version.  I could never have done what I have done in C.  Otoh, the
first thing I did was to write c2py, a script that did about 80% of
the work of transliteration.  So even then, there was a complete
transliteration, but not a complete rewrite.
