complier
One who obeys
A complier is one who complies—someone who goes along with rules, requests, or expectations.
The word appears most often in contexts where compliance matters: The new regulations separated compliers from resisters.
In computing, the standard spelling for the program that converts code is compiler, though complier occasionally appears as a variant.
