Techniques for translating between high level programming languages

Abstract:

Systems and methods are described herein for translating code segments from one high-level programming language to another. The system may maintain any suitable number of decoding computing modules each configured to translate code of a corresponding language to an intermediate configuration object that represents an abstracted version of the code that identifies the operations performed on one or more variables and the order by which these operations are performed in the code. The intermediate configuration object can be used to generate new code segments expressed in different programming languages. In some embodiments, generating the a new code segment in a given programming language from the intermediate configuration object can be performed by an encoding computing module that is specific to that language.
