There are some jobs that contain rather simple JavaScript snippets, and I was trying to design a first prototype that simply takes the JS parts and runs them in a transpiler.
In this respect, I found a couple of packages that could be leveraged: - js2py: https://github.com/PiotrDabkowski/Js2Py - mini-racer: https://github.com/bpcreech/PyMiniRacer Yet, both seem to be abandoned packages that might not be suitable for usage in production.
Therefore, I was thinking about parsing and translating Javascript's abstract syntax trees to Python. Whereas a colleague suggested I bring up an LLM pipeline.
How much of an overkill that might be? Has anyone else ever dealt with a JavaScript-to-Python migration and could share heads-ups on strategies or pitfalls to avoid?
Programmers have an unhealthy aversion to repetitive tasks. Sometimes you just have to do work-work. Happens all the time in other industries,
clock in at 9 do the same thing for 2 hours, take a break, do the same thing for 2 hours, lunch, 2 hours break, 2 hours, go home.
Repeat this for weeks if necessary, you can plan it out and predict when it will be done, if need be ask for more resources.
