Perhaps more modestly - how far are we from just being able to translate from one high level language to another, assuming the ability to refine the translation as opposed to a one-shot job that has to correctly interpret the intent?
I.e. will it matter what language anyone uses? Here, take this software renderer I wrote in Python, and translate it to C++. "Conversation" about choices and ambiguities ensues...
- machiaweliczny 5y agoI think we soon will have NLP capable of that. Too much money involved to resist.
- nahuel0x 5y agoMaybe there is the possibility of a meta high level language capable of describing/encompassing all the others without exceeding human cognition capabilities. Instead of compiling to a common low level target like assembler, transpiling all the existing sources to a very high level one optimized for human understandability.
