> Also why do people invent a new word 'transpile'
Not this ignorant myth again - it isn’t a new word, been in use since mid 60s. A transpiler is a form of compiler from high-level language to high-level language. A compiler didn't even originally translate, but just link.
The same way ‘navy’ is a kind of blue but we can say navy and add a little more specific information. Nobody rails against navy saying ‘but it’s just a shade of blue!’
