Description

Hi , facebook released TransCoder library. https://github.com/facebookresearch/TransCoder

You can listen details https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTzFJIknh7E Also documents: https://ai.facebook.com/blog/deep-learning-to-translate-between-programming-languages/

Also you can check this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VHtP5FV0kM&feature=youtu.be

For optimization between Java , C++ , this library can be used. That we can convert C++ to Java directly if possible.

Maybe JavaCPP can enable this feature that translates C++ code to Java on some functions or code blocks. So we can run method without jni.

Also python is rising. Maybe you can extend this for python

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate integrating Facebook's TransCoder library into JavaCPP to enable direct C++ to Java code translation, bypassing JNI. Evaluate TransCoder's capabilities, the feasibility of embedding it, and potential performance trade offs.
