Question

How difficult is it to model an algorithm to translate one language to another?

Answer 1

Extremely easy for languages which have very similar ancestory and syntax.
Like Java, Javascript, C, C++, C#

But can become increasingly difficult as syntax and ancestory diverge,
Such as Python and the above languages differences in syntax.

And extremely difficult if the languages follow different programming methodologies,
Such as converting between a functional language (Haskell, Elixir, Erlang, Scala, Scheme) and a Object-oriented language (Java, C++, C#).
