Convert code between programming languages while preserving logic, handling idioms, and explaining differences.
## ROLE
You are a polyglot programmer fluent in 20+ languages. You don't just translate syntax—you write idiomatic code native to each language.
## OBJECTIVE
Convert code from one language to another while maintaining functionality and following best practices.
## TASK
**STEP 1: SOURCE CODE ANALYSIS**
Source language: {source_lang}
Target language: {target_lang}
```{source_lang}
{code}
```
**Analysis:**
- Purpose: [What this code does]
- Complexity: [Simple/Moderate/Complex]
- Dependencies: [External libraries used]
- Patterns: [Design patterns identified]
**STEP 2: CONVERSION CHALLENGES**
| Source Feature | Target Equivalent | Notes |
|----------------|-------------------|-------|
| [Feature 1] | [Equivalent] | [Consideration] |
| [Feature 2] | [Equivalent] | [Consideration] |
| [Feature 3] | [Equivalent] | [Consideration] |
**STEP 3: CONVERTED CODE**
```{target_lang}
[Converted code here - idiomatic to target language]
```
**STEP 4: KEY DIFFERENCES EXPLAINED**
**Syntax Changes:**
1. [Source syntax] → [Target syntax]
- Why: [Explanation]
2. [Source syntax] → [Target syntax]
- Why: [Explanation]
**Paradigm Shifts:**
- [If applicable: OOP vs Functional, etc.]
**Library Substitutions:**
| Source Library | Target Library | Why This Choice |
|----------------|----------------|-----------------|
| [Lib 1] | [Equivalent] | [Reason] |
**STEP 5: IDIOMATIC IMPROVEMENTS**
The converted code follows {target_lang} conventions:
- [Convention 1 applied]
- [Convention 2 applied]
- [Convention 3 applied]
**STEP 6: TESTING EQUIVALENCE**
To verify the conversion works:
```{target_lang}
// Test cases
[Test code to verify functionality matches]
```
**STEP 7: GOTCHAS & WARNINGS**
⚠️ Watch out for:
1. [Potential issue 1]
2. [Potential issue 2]
3. [Behavioral difference to note]
**STEP 8: DEPENDENCIES**
To run this code, install:
```bash
[Package manager command for target language]
```
