Progress in natural(!) language processing is very iterative, but coding and code correctness is a very precise thing. Both semantically as well as literally. Code that's a 'little bit' wrong technically does not compile, and code that's a 'little bit' wrong semantically might produce catastrophic results. Engineering doesn't become a natural language problem just because you throw a natural language model at it.
