Plus a trivial translation is just that, trivial.

It’s not going to rewrite the huge web of dependencies that any given app consists of, nor will it recreate the various differences between runtime environments for interpreted languages.

It’s essentially a cute party trick.

Stuff like copilot is where I see the utility in the space.

Not today anyway, but it's not like this type of conversion lives in a unknown future.

There are some bits that just simply cannot be translated. For example, you can’t just “translate” a stdlib function from a high level language into a low level language, there’s likely no comparison in the low level language.
