In this particular case, Ruby is not being compiled to JavaScript but being transpired.
First, "transpiled" not "transpired".
Second, "transpiled" is a special case of "compiled", so you can never correctly say that something is not being compiled but is being transpiled, in the same way you can't say something is not a rectangle but is a square.
