The prompt

Convert this code from [SOURCE LANGUAGE] to [TARGET LANGUAGE]:

[PASTE CODE]

Use idiomatic patterns in the target language rather than a literal translation, keep the same behaviour, and list any differences in libraries, types, error handling or performance I should test. Add brief comments where the approach changed.

Pro tip: Ask for a list of behaviour differences so you know what to test after converting.
