In the below **slideshare** link, I’ve _seen the Elm logo_ in **slide 20**. The heading of that slide is _Transpilation"_ My understanding is that Elm code will be compiled to JS. How or Where is _Transpilation_ attributed to Elm? Any light on understanding Elm in the context of _Transpilation_ would be a great help. > **[FrontendOps - Giamir Buoncristiani](https://www.slideshare.net/ThoughtWorks/frontendops-giamir-buoncristiani)** > > In this presentation Giamir will describe what modern frontend work looks like.

Transpilation means compiling to a source code in another language. In case of Elm, it gets compiled to a JavaScript source code, which you then run in your browser. The other logos in that slide: - **Babel** : newer/experimental version of JS into “old JS”, essentially adding support for new features - **TypeScript** : typed JS into JS - **ClojureScript** : Clojure into JS - **Reason** : Reason into JS (through the intermediate step of OCaml, I think?) - I don’t know what the last logo is for 😇 Related: [Language Graph](https://akr.am/languages/?source=Elm&target=C%2B%2B) - allows you to find a chain of such transpilers from language A to language B, if it exists. ---

Found what the last logo is for by using image search in Google. It is PostCSS: [https://postcss.org](https://postcss.org) ---
