Does a prose to code compiler exist?
- by Raynos
I have seen some horrible code in my time including people virtually duplicating the code in comments
// add 4 to x
x+=4;
// for each i in 0 to 9
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
// multiply x by i
x *= i;
}
Taking this concept further, I'm curious whether prose to code compilers exist.
Is there a valid use case for English prose to code?
Do compilers exist that do this?
The distinction between this and auto generated code, is that auto generated code is generally always a subset of a project. Can we have complete projects auto generated from english prose?
I realise that this might overlap with the concept of declarative languages.
