Hi,

The type of functionality that you're asking for does not exist in Bash.
Bash is an interpreter, which means that it'll read the source code (i.e. a
command and its arguments) and it'll execute that itself by issuing the
corresponding system calls (fork, exec, ...).  It currently does not
provide a way to transpile from Bash code to a different language.
