Talk:Transcompiler

The article says: "this often leads to a loss of efficiency. Also, the code often needs manual correction because the automated translation does not work in all cases.". Why? Who's claiming this? This, in my opinion, plain wrong accusations need references. .oisyn (talk) 13:26, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

Every Compiler is a Transcompiler
Every compiler has a source- and a target-language. Is the term “transcompiler” only used for porting to another programming language? Then e.g. Pascal would have to be removed from the list of examples. Clarification needed. --Chricho ∀ (talk) 16:16, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
 * A compiler translates source code to machine code that can be understood by the CPU hardware. A transpiler translates source code to another form of source code that can be understood by another compiler.  For example, Vala compiles to C, and we get the machine code by using a C compiler.
