Code Transpilation

Definitions

1. The transformation of source code from one high-level language or language version into another high-level form, such as TypeScript to JavaScript or modern syntax to older browser-compatible output. Transpilation is often used to bridge platform support gaps while preserving developer ergonomics in the source language.

   In plain English: Converting code from one high-level language form into another compatible one.

   Example: "The browser bundle relied on code transpilation because several target environments still lacked support for the newer syntax used in the source files."
