A graph of programming languages connected through compilers

Nice visualization, it can be improved though. There are Java compilers directly to native code though, the Oracle JVM isn't the only path.

Every road leads to GCC, or in this case, GCJ. ;)

A few missing items: - CIL to C++ using CoreRT/AoT compiler [1] - JVM to CIL using ikvmc [2] - Quite a few languages to WebAssembly using LLVM [3] - J# if you are willing to include dead but somewhat significant languages [1] https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/alphageek/2016/10/13/native... [2] http://www.ikvm.net/userguide/ikvmc.html [3] https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43540878/what-languages-...

Isn't Python to C using CPython missing?

Edit: Or I guess technically python byte code. [1]

Also, rust to webassembly

There's also Excelsior Jet

I think the correct representation of this is Rust to LLVM IR (which is there), then LLVM to WebAssembly (which should be there but isn't).

Actually, WebAssembly as a compile target is just generally not there on the graph, which is weird. The Wasm compiler scene is pretty rapidly fluctuating though.
