Evaluated OpenAI Codex for weeks now. It cuts 1/2 the time off my current coding time, largely by producing syntax correct code & reducing lookups to docs/stack/etc.
At the same time, it's hopelessly wrong or broken about 1/3 of the time.
On balance - it is revolutionary. For real world use - it is still very experimental.
- avmich 5y agoCan we ask Codex to write in languages like Haskell where it's hard to make "small" mistakes, because types are catching you? Or does it circumvent that?
- PartiallyTyped 5y agoConsidering Haskell is much more dense than most languages, it should be harder to create those small mistakes because the produced code is much shorter, but I haven't tested it, so take this with a grain of salt.
- YeGoblynQueenne 5y agoIf you want to auto-write Haskell, use MagicHaskeller: http://nautilus.cs.miyazaki-u.ac.jp/~skata/MagicHaskeller.html http://nautilus.cs.miyazaki-u.ac.jp/~skata/MagicHaskeller.ht... And whle we're at it, if you want to auto-write Prolog, use my own Louise: https://github.com/stassa/louise https://github.com/stassa/louise
