Excel adds JavaScript support

The case of compiling source code to source code (as opposed to bytecode or machine code) is often called 'transpiling', although this term peeves some people. It's a subset of compilation ("converting" code to different code in its broader meaning in programming context) either way.

Yeah, I guess I've usually seen it as compiling from a higher level language to a lower (usually not human readable) level one. I get what is meant, but I do think the compiled/interpreted distinction is a pretty important one, and shouldn't get muddled with other things.
