Notes from my terminal: Perthon -- Python to Perl Language Translation

December 11, 2003

Perthon -- Python to Perl Language Translation

The purpose of this project is to automatically translate Python into human-readable Perl using Perl. It is currently making use of Damian Conway's Parse::RecDescent for the parsing/lexing.

Apart from Perthon being a great project just for hack-value, I find two things surprising:

Call me a geek, but in their side-by-side comparison, I actually find the (machine-generated!) Perl code both more readable and consistent.
Don't you think it's telling that they do the parsing and lexing in Perl, even though Python evangelists keep recommending Python as the generally better option for all the purposes we used to use Perl for?
