A moment of silence for the javascript devs downloading a 13MB of this guy along with their babel transpiler.

Behold the monstrosity regex my transpiler produces!

/val|var|[1-9]{1,32}|\+|\-|\*|s\/s|>>|=|;|(["'])(?:(?=(\\?))\2.)*?\1|print\(|log\(|sqrt\(|input\(|strToArray\(|httpGet\(|if\(|else|{|}|s==s|s>=s|s<=s|s>s|s<s|s&&s|\|\||!|;|\(|\)|\[|\]| |\w+/gi

Today i spent one hour and half trying to understand why my ajax request was returning "undefined" instead of a json object. It turns out i had just to restart ionic because of some bug in the ts transpiler.

Fuck you typescript.

Docker is awesome for minimizing environment problems.

Current side project needed a database, a web server with php and a transpiler server running. Before, other people developed using XAMPP on windows. I dockerized the project and have now just one build script setting up everything the app needs, regardless of the underlying operating system.

1. Work more on AltRant
2. Start (and finish!) a C-compatible original programming language transpiler with my own syntax and everything (I might talk about it in my next rant)
3. Somehow survive college (I am dying there someone save me from this torment)

You know you're going to have a great day when your transpiler is spitting out an error that you hard coded to ignore and don't have access to its source code for a couple days .-.

Sat at home Giggling away to devRant. My partner asks what I'm laughing at and all I can say is: sorry my devRant to English transpiler is broken.

I love my language, I love my highlighter, but most of all I love my transpiler ❤️

Overheard from a JavaScript dev: why is there no React to Pytorch transpiler yet?

Ok you win we will kill ourselves

Coolest but probably most unnecessary feature in the dev world: A whitespace (programming language) to Java bytecode transpiler. Well I kinda started, but never finished actually due to lack of motivation to really finish it. At least the Parser and Interpreter were fully functional.

I want to build a code transpiler/ transformer as a side project I looked around but I can't find where to start.

Does anyone have any useful info on this ?
