Pipple also has an experimental transpiler, which will turn your Pipple code into C++. To use, run `pipple -c path/to/code.ppl`. This will print code to the console.
To quickly compile Pipple code, try `pipple -c path/to/code.ppl | g++ -xc++ - -o exename`, where `exename` is the name of the executable to output to.
