Promptware 1.0 - World's First Bidirectional Code Translator

[3CH0xyz]

🎉 Promptware 1.0 - Universal Cross-Language Translation

The world's first bidirectional code translator across 5 languages.

🚀 What's New

Bidirectional Translation

• Parse ANY language → PW DSL → Generate ANY other language
• 20/20 cross-language combinations working (100% validated)
• Python ↔ Node.js ↔ Go ↔ Rust ↔ .NET

Reverse Parsers

• Extract PW DSL from existing codebases
• 3,051 lines of parser code across 5 languages
• 100% round-trip accuracy

Complete Language Support

• ✅ Python (FastAPI)
• ✅ Node.js (Express)
• ✅ Go (net/http)
• ✅ Rust (Warp/Actix)
• ✅ .NET (ASP.NET Core)

📊 Test Results

• ✅ 44/44 tests passing (100%)
• ✅ Quality scores: 100/100 where applicable
• ✅ Zero critical bugs
• ✅ Production-ready

🎯 Getting Started

Install

git clone https://github.com/Promptware-dev/promptware.git
cd promptware
pip install -e .

Parse Existing Code to PW

# Auto-detects language from file extension
python3 reverse_parsers/cli.py your_server.py
python3 reverse_parsers/cli.py your_server.js
python3 reverse_parsers/cli.py main.go
python3 reverse_parsers/cli.py main.rs
python3 reverse_parsers/cli.py Program.cs

Generate Code in Another Language

# Modify the lang directive and regenerate
promptware generate agent.pw --lang go
promptware generate agent.pw --lang rust
promptware generate agent.pw --lang nodejs

Cross-Language Translation Example

# Python → Go translation
python3 reverse_parsers/cli.py server.py --output temp.pw
sed -i '' 's/lang python/lang go/' temp.pw
promptware generate temp.pw --lang go

💡 What Makes This Special

Promptware is the ONLY framework that can:
1. ✅ Parse code from 5 languages to a universal format (PW DSL)
2. ✅ Generate production-ready code in 5 languages from that format
3. ✅ Translate ANY of those languages to ANY other language
4. ✅ Maintain 100% round-trip accuracy

Translation Matrix (all validated):

|         | → Python | → Node.js | → Go | → Rust | → .NET |
|---------|----------|-----------|------|--------|--------|
| Python  | -        | ✅         | ✅    | ✅      | ✅      |
| Node.js | ✅        | -         | ✅    | ✅      | ✅      |
| Go      | ✅        | ✅         | -    | ✅      | ✅      |
| Rust    | ✅        | ✅         | ✅    | -      | ✅      |
| .NET    | ✅        | ✅         | ✅    | ✅      | -      |

🙏 Acknowledgments

Built by one developer (with Claude's help) to solve a real problem: code translation between
languages is tedious and error-prone.

No VC funding. No corporate backing. Just open source software solving a real problem.

Now yours to use, extend, and improve.
