{"id":27054,"library":"icetools","title":"icetools","description":"An experimental transpiler from JavaScript to Golo language, currently at version 0.1.9. This project appears to be a minor hobby tool with no recent updates, sparse documentation, and no clear release cadence. It differentiates itself by targeting Golo, a dynamic language for the JVM, but lacks comparable robustness to established transpilers like Babel or TypeScript. The package has no README and minimal community adoption, making it unsuitable for production use.","status":"deprecated","version":"0.1.9","language":"javascript","source_language":"en","source_url":"https://github.com/cneryjr/icetools","tags":["javascript","instantaneous","compact","expressive","programming","language"],"install":[{"cmd":"npm install icetools","lang":"bash","label":"npm"},{"cmd":"yarn add icetools","lang":"bash","label":"yarn"},{"cmd":"pnpm add icetools","lang":"bash","label":"pnpm"}],"dependencies":[],"imports":[{"note":"Assumed ESM export, but package may not support any import.","wrong":"const icetools = require('icetools');","symbol":"default","correct":"import icetools from 'icetools';"}],"quickstart":{"code":"import icetools from 'icetools';\n\nconst jsCode = `\nfunction hello() {\n  console.log('Hello, world!');\n}\nhello();\n`;\n\nconst goloCode = icetools.transpile(jsCode);\nconsole.log(goloCode);","lang":"javascript","description":"Transpiles a simple JavaScript function to Golo language using the default export."},"warnings":[{"fix":"Do not use in production; consider alternatives like Babel or TypeScript.","message":"Package has no README, no tests, and last update likely 0.1.9 from 2017.
