Is it possible to port the IDA Python scripts to Ghidra, or would it be impossible ? #10

Hey,

I'm a graduate student in cybersecurity interested in hardware security and more closely to firmware security, but I don't have IDA Pro, and I'm not planning to buy it any time soon, at least not just for myself.

I was wondering if the IDA Python scripts could be converted to Ghidra kinda of extensions, maybe either to Python or Java scripts, could they achieve the same functionality or would that be very hard or near impossible, or maybe that would require making PRs to Ghidra and working with the NSA which I have no idea how that goes btw, I guess it's always the same with Open Source tho, just make a PR and wait for reviews from maintainers.

So yeah, how would one go about it ? What kind of skillsets are most likely needed, and would you help someone to look into doing that of course during some free time, I'm aware that everyone isn't always free, or would that someone be on their own to figure out every little nitty-gritty details ?
