> "Transpiler" means a compiler that outputs a human-readable format, such as source code. It's a cool sounding word, but most the time people use it to imply that a given compiler is in some way inferior. This is very silly, as there is nothing about compiling to a human-readable format that makes a compiler easier to implement.

Ok but this footnote comes at the end of a paragraph describing how the previous transpiler implementation was inferior to the new compiler. It's ok to make these distinctions.
