Coming from a non-CS background, I've always wondered why you can't "convert" code from one framework or paradigm to another. For instance, converting a project from jQuery to React. If you can define the outputs, why can't you redefine the inputs? That's what it seems like this project does... I suppose converting frameworks would be a few orders of magnitudes harder though.
