## 5 Discussion
### About the Research Questions
One of the primary benefits of using this schema is that it reduces dependency on the base technologies used for software development. This makes it ideal for software product builders seeking to deploy software across multiple platforms and technologies. There are several other relevant scenarios in this context, such as government software projects, software for business associations, software projects in scientific research, software-as-a-service projects, open-source projects, and long-time-use software, which can benefit from this software design pattern. A detailed analysis is presented in the section entitled \"Target Audiences\". * RQ3: What are the benefits and challenges associated with implementing a software design model that uses a transpiler in the back-end layer? For a detailed analysis of the benefits and challenges associated with implementing a software design model that uses a transpiler in the back-end layer, please refer to the section titled \"Pros and Cons\", which provides a comprehensive overview of the advantages and disadvantages of the proposed software architectural design model. * RQ4: How can one evaluate the effectiveness and validity of the proposed conceptual model for software design using a transpiler in the back-end layer? To evaluate the effectiveness and validity of the proposed conceptual model for software design using a transpiler in the back-end layer, it was necessary to perform a series of tests and evaluations in real-world scenarios. This included testing the performance, scalability, and reliability of the architecture in different contexts as well as comparing it with existing software design models to determine its advantages and disadvantages. Additionally, it was essential to gather feedback from developers and end users in order to assess the usability and overall user experience of the software designed using this model. In the most recent phase of our research, we ventured from theoretical planning to the tangible implementation of a transpiler-based architectural design model, for which we used the Hax transpiler due to its adaptability and flexibility in back-end transpilation. Central to this phase was the development of the nest implementations which acted as intermediaries to bridge the source code with various back-end platforms. In addition, a multi-layered model incorporating code generators, automated build programs, and standard libraries was established to enhance the back-end system, culminating in the creation of a to-do list web application as a practical representation of our design model. This application exhibited consistent behavior across diverse back-end platforms, highlighting the potential of our architectural setup. Through our iterative development process, we gained insights into the nonlinearity of creating our architectural model, with each cycle refining and maturing the system. Challenges included complexities in debugging owing to the varied technologies and transpilation processes and the limitations associated with Haxe's documentation and framework availability. Nonetheless, our project showed the applicability of the transpiler-based architectural model, highlighting its scalability and adaptability for future applications. Potential use cases include large-scale enterprise solutions, collaborative development environments, and rapid prototyping across platforms. Reflecting on our research journey, the achievements, challenges, and future potential of our transpiler-based architecture have become apparent. This research not only demonstrates the capability of transpiler-based systems, it sets out a vision for future software development paradigms, laying the foundation for potential widespread adoption in various technological contexts. Further details can be found in the \"Empirical Experiment\" section of this document. For future work, a case study should be considered to improve on the validity of our results.
