Using Existing PLs as Assembly Languages
2025-06-15
I'm on a different vector with OhmJS. I'm experimenting with transpilation instead of compilation - rewriting text from one form to another, using existing PLs as "assembly languages" for higher-level notations. I created a quickie answer, using transpilation, to an exercise in the book Crafting Interpreters which converts fictitious strings, containing JS-like interpolation, into working Python code that doesn't use Python f-strings.
Further Experimentation
