so like if i want to translate something from the Python language into LUA, it takes too long so if google translate had a feature where you can translate different programming languages into other ones that would be good O_O

also they could make it so that you can translate from a programming language into english or anything else and vice verse

that would probably be time consuming, useless, and difficult

The problem isn't about the bait.

You introduce a quite advanced topic, then tell people they're "script kiddies" because they believe it's a difficult task (which it is by the way). THEN you go on and say that "oh it's easy if you're as good as me." Irritating and rude.

What's the point of asking a question if it's so easy for you?

And just saying, you're post is most likely bait anyways.

>>Yet he needs a tool to convert between languages when that in itself is super easy as long as you have basic knowledge of each

We don't believe it's bait because we aren't good enough. We believe it's bait because you're overusing text emoticons, you're using the term "script kiddies" to insult people, and you act like you're better than everyone else reading and replying your post. By the way: Because* Aren't* I'm* Isn't* Comma should also be a period in ################# ################### ######### ## ################## See what I mean?

Here are two quotes for you, my friend, since I highly doubt you'll want to read all of the replies or even the post due to your maturity level

"Translating from a more-structured language to a less-structured language that is still Turing-complete, is always possible.

This claim should be viewed in a strictly technical sense: It means that the translated program will produce exactly the same result when it is executed.

Nothing is implied about the readability of translated code, or the preservation of the original program structures.

Translating from a less-structured language to a more-structured language is possible, but the translated code will remain in its less-structured form."





"Why would you want to convert a program?

Both languages, the source and the target language are compiled to (virtual)machinecode anyways*, so for technical reasons there's no need to have a compiler to another high level language.

Languages are for humans. So, the implicit requirement of your question is: 'why is there no translator that generates readable code', and the answer would be (imho): because if there are two languages that are sufficently different, the ways 'readable code' is written is different in a way that would not just require to translate the algorithms, but take different algorithms.

For example, compare a typical iteration in C and one in lisp. Or pythons 'one best way' with idiomatic ruby.

Here, the same problems begin to appear you have in real languages, like you translate 'It's raining cats and dogs' to something with the meaning of 'It's pouring like it would from buckets' when translating from english to german, you can't translate word by word anymore, but you have to look for the meaning.

And 'meaning' is not an easy concept to work on.

*) well, there's coffeescript..."
