Is there a word that means "trans-compilation result"?

A compiler takes source code and produces "binary" code.

A trans-compiler (or "transpiler") takes source code and produces ??? code?

I wouldn't like using the word source again because that is what humans write, and something isn't source if it is automatically produced by something from something else.

Is there an accepted term to mean trans-compilation output?

Solution

  • The phrase I think you should use is one of two:

    • translated code
    • generated code
