JsPL is a JavaScript-Python-Lua 3-way transpiler made using Tree-sitter, a powerful parser generator tool that enables accurate syntax tree construction for code analysis and transformation. This project aims to facilitate seamless code conversion between these three popular programming languages by leveraging Tree-sitter's robust grammars to parse, analyze, and generate equivalent syntax across language boundaries. By creating a unified intermediate representation and implementing precise code generation rules, this transpiler will help developers prototype across ecosystems or explore polyglot programming with greater ease.
Project consist of 4 (four) subprojects: jspl, jspl-lib, jspl-website and jspl-poster.
jspl is the core transpiler package which hosts the common AST and related tests and in the future
it will include a CLI runnable to be used on the command line. jspl-lib is a common library in all
three languages. jspl-website is the website of the project built with SvelteKit and is for
introduction and documentation of the project as well as an online editor. jspl-poster is a mostly
static web page meant to be render as A0 poster PDF. See README.md files in these subdirectories
for development instructions.
