Transpiling is one high level language to another. It's like Rust to assembly code or something much lower level. So let's talk about what kinds of things in JavaScript land you might want to transpile it. Transpilization generally done for syntax, meaning that things in JavaScript that were added where the code looks different than what it needs to be. And all of TypeScript is transpiled, right? Like all of the different bits in TypeScript need to be converted to JavaScript.
In this episode of Syntax, Wes and Scott talk about what polyfills, transpiling, and monkey patching mean, how and when to do it, and libraries that can help you out.
