- mmjaa 9y agofoldoc.org is the product of a single individuals' construction of definitions of computing terms and is by no means a complete and authoritative source of technical terms. It says so right there on the site... However, this is a fun game, so lets play: http://www.yourdictionary.com/transpiler http://www.yourdictionary.com/transpiler https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/transpiler https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/transpiler https://www.thefreedictionary.com/transpiler https://www.thefreedictionary.com/transpiler https://www.quora.com/What-is-a-transpiler https://www.quora.com/What-is-a-transpiler
- cat199 9y agoplease feel free to attribute or posit another source w/r/t etymology within computing, I'm all ears. I doubt you'll find 'transpiler' at the origins of computing history; see also C++/cfront post
- mmjaa 9y ago4 refs in my post, check it. You won't find "full stack development" in the roots of computing history either; language is malleable and useful. Get over it.
- cat199 9y agoThe original C++ is probably the most famous 'transpiler' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cfront https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cfront http://www.softwarepreservation.org/projects/c_plus_plus/cfront/release_e/src/master.pdf http://www.softwarepreservation.org/projects/c_plus_plus/cfr... ohey, noone calls it a 'transpiler'. I'm not so angry about the word transpiler; perhaps it might improve things.. but to imply that using compiler as a common term for all things here is a regression/neologism is patently wrong - transpiler is the newcomer.
