But Grit should be able to handle translating a PHP dialect like Hacklang to a modern version of PHP? In your opinion, what tools would be ideal for general purpose transpilation between languages?

Yeah, that should be doable (though GritQL doesn't have PHP support yet). > In your opinion, what tools would be ideal for general purpose transpilation between languages? Writing a transpiler is quite complicated and requires a lot of development to get right. I don't know of any high-quality generalized transpilers—you're best looking for tools specific to the language pair you're targeting.
