Compiling and transpiling may seem very similar by the definition, but aren't the same process. So, what's the difference ,let's see here ?

what is the similar definition -

  • conversion of code from one Source language to Another Source language.

Why conversion ?

  • Conversion is done because by writing code we are interacting with machines and there is a lag of communication language between our the language that humans understand and that language that browser understands ?
  • Since Machine understands binary language and we understand others high level languages that are developed with some level of abstraction .

Now coming to actual difference :

  • So the actual difference is in the process at what level of abstraction is done while converting .
