transmogrifier

noun

someone or something that can change or transform its appearance to something else

Following heated debates in the Nim community whether Nim was a compiled to C or transpiled to C, and also compiled to JS or transpiled to JS, with arguments one way or another, we felt the need to introduce a new terminology as the current ones didn’t address our concerns and failed to communicate what Nim is. In short Nim transmogrify to C and JS.
