Yeah, because a cheese burger has cheese. What does a transpiler have? What is the common factor between all transpilers? Who decides on this layering of which languages are higher level or lower level? C2Rust doesn't call itself a transpiler, it calls itself a translator. This term seems completely useless to me. |

High to high translation. Limited lowering.

You know it when you see it.
Who decides what makes a book a 'horror book'? There's no authority on that either. You know it when you see it.

Yes a translator - a translating compiler - a transpiler.

Not sure why the term seems to wind people up so much - it just add a little extra info.
