transpilator
A transpilator, also known as a source-to-source compiler, is a special type of translator that takes source code written in one programming language and converts it into equivalent source code in another programming language. This process differs from a traditional compiler, which typically translates source code into machine code or an intermediate language executable by a computer. Transpilators operate at the source code level, maintaining the readability and structure of the original code to a significant degree.
The primary motivation for using transpilators is to leverage the advantages of newer or more advanced programming
The output of a transpilator is usually human-readable and can be further processed by standard compilers or
