Ha! Honoured to have you reply to my comment, sir :-)

I wonder, what is the primary reason you believe a tool like Rascal couldn't be the engine behind the Nimrod compiler?

(btw, I didn't mean to imply that making the Nimrod compiler is easy in any language - I guess the "easy" word applies more to CoffeeScript and Sass in my previous comment)

Regarding the word "transpile" - that was long the common name given to e.g. the CoffeeScript compiler and only recently got out of fashion for obvious reasons. Mind that not everyone who uses an outdated term is entirely clueless. :-)
