Working on an application to convert code to java?

Question

Java

Hello. They offer the position of a programmer in a company that develops software for converting applications from one programming language to another (in my case, Java). The position looks tempting, but since I don’t have much experience and have little idea what the essence of such conversions is, the question arises .. Isn’t this a dead end path for development specifically in java programming? And won't all the work consist in rewriting simple operations (loops, if's, etc.) in a new syntax (for example, java)?
I'd love to hear answers on this, thanks.

Answer 1

It is better to rewrite all 0 with all the goodies, and not waste time on a useless thing.

Answer 2

It is better not to convert the code to java, but to compile it to jvm bytecode. If the source language already knows how to compile to jvm bytecode, then it is enough to rewrite it in the desired style. If not, then it can be very difficult. And this is clearly not limited to the transformation of the syntax.
In any case, you need to know perfectly how the jvm works, know the nuances of the source language and java itself, etc.
Well, tell me what is the original language.
