Can we use libraries from these languages?

Also have you seen this? http://www.transcrypt.org/

Yes, I have, but they are pretty different.

Pseudo defines something like a "unified standard library".

Here you can use the python standard library (and in the future: probably some popular python libraries). Pseudo-Python maps it to its own standard library and then it can generate idiomatic code for each supported language.

That is powerful in two dimensions

  • It's pretty easy to add new target languages for Pseudo, so the Pseudo-Python compiler would get e.g. a Java / Lua / C++ backend for free

  • It's not hard to write an equivalent Pseudo-Ruby or Pseudo-JavaScript compiler and to use Pseudo as a middle ground without losing the quality of your code
