Not to generate a compiler (very hard IMO) but to generate something that compiles and runs. My next thought is to use a language agnostic spec and train an AI to create programs that adheres to that spec. OpenAPI for RESTful interfaces would be good. IMO, using A.I. to generate programs (or languages) is the ultimate nerd snipe. I, sovietmudkip, have to admit defeat else my own productivity and happiness will suffer. There is someone else out there whose personal incentives align with engaging in this difficult endeavor. But for me, I measure myself in projects realized, and that holds me back sometimes.
