I've always wondered if we could leverage the vast amount of GitHub code - that assumably all compiles without error or undefined behaviour on their master branches - train some sort of neural net to better catch syntax errors.
Has anyone done something like this, or am I riding the 2016 neural net hype train still?
- karlding 6y agoThis isn't specifically for syntax errors, but Jacob Jackson released TabNine [0] last year, which is an autocompleter trained on files from GitHub [1]. TabNine was acquired by Codota earlier this year [2].

- glouwbug 6y agoPretty amazing, and congrats to Jacob Jackson. (I may be a little envious) ;)
