Description

The new protodef compiler is really simple and short.
Could it be expanded to produce another language ?

This might be quite interesting to help people at wiki.vg not reimplement the protocol 10 times, and expand usage of protodef.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing protodef compiler and its IIFE compiling concept. The issue does not name a target language, files, entry point, or tests, so define the target and expected generated output before implementation; done would mean producing a usable compiler for another language without reimplementing the protocol.
