What do you do about all the places where the languages have significantly different semantics? For instance, a Python integer can store more values than a Python float (which is broadly compatible with a JS Number), but in JS, bitwise operations restrict the value to 32-bit. And subscripting or iterating over a string containing astral (non-BMP) characters will do different things. Or when you use non-string keys in a dictionary (notably integers). Transpiling is an extremely dangerous thing to do a partial job of.
