"transpiled" is not a word found in any dictionary I know.


Language constantly evolves, and I reckon there's certainly enough room for "transpile" somewhere in that process. CS -> JS isn't quite translation (much of it stays the same) and it's hardly compilation (but that seems to be the accepted term), so I feel "transpile" is perfectly suited.
