A few missing items: - CIL to C++ using CoreRT/AoT compiler [1] - JVM to CIL using ikvmc [2] - Quite a few languages to WebAssembly using LLVM [3] - J# if you are willing to include dead but somewhat significant languages [1] https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/alphageek/2016/10/13/native-compilation-why-jit-when-you-can-codegen/ https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/alphageek/2016/10/13/native...

Isn't Python to C using CPython missing? Edit: Or I guess technically python byte code. [1] [1] http://effbot.org/zone/python-compile.htm http://effbot.org/zone/python-compile.htm

  > Isn't Python to C using CPython missing? Python doesn't compile Python to C, non-technically or otherwise. Where did you get that impression? I presume they don't include internal IRs like Python bytecode, as it's not any kind of shared or standardised format. Otherwise you'd be including tons of different compiler IRs.

    I thought it maps your code to the base Py_Object like how writing an extension works? Idk only done a little bit of that and need to dive into the process more. On my todo list so if you have some links that have a good explanation of this that would be great. Unfortunately was unable to take compilers in school so missed out on the conceptual aspect of the compilation process. edit: found the docs on python.org for the compiler [1] [1] https://devguide.python.org/compiler/ https://devguide.python.org/compiler/

      Yeah it doesn’t compile it into C though. You may be thinking of Cython, which compiles a language similar to Python, but not quite Python, into C using the Python C extension interface.

Also, rust to webassembly

  I think the correct representation of this is Rust to LLVM IR (which is there), then LLVM to WebAssembly (which should be there but isn't). Actually, WebAssembly as a compile target is just generally not there on the graph, which is weird. The Wasm compiler scene is pretty rapidly fluctuating though.

- Quite a few languages to WebAssembly using LLVM Languages are compiled to LLVM IR and then to WebAssembly. These are shown, right?

  The graph doesn't show LLVM IR compiles to WASM. It does show LLVM IR to JS via Emscripten though.

Also OCaml to OCaml bytecode via ocamlc to Javascript via js_of_ocaml.

(A subset of) Clojure can be compiled to C++ using the Ferret compiler: https://ferret-lang.org/ https://ferret-lang.org/
