The term "transpiler" (referring to a source-to-source translation tool, or "translating compiler") gained popularity around 2013 with the proliferation of translators from TypeScript and other abstractions (CoffeeScript, Dart) into JavaScript.
JavaScript at the time was becoming a "universal runtime".
Babel is a popular transpiler. tsc is the official transpiler. It can be installed via npm.
