US Patent 7823139 Method and system for translating programming languages

A system that provides programming language translation includes a first compiler that compiles a source file in a first programming language into a parsed representation of the first programming language, and a transformation component that receives the parsed representation and generates a token stream from the parsed representation. The token stream comprises second language tokens of a second programming language and at least one compilation phase of the first compiler is skipped. The system further includes a second compiler that compiles the token stream into an object code and skips at least one compilation phase of the second compiler. The transformation component provides the token stream to the second compiler in memory.
