How about IDE that suggest you next line of code? Or next variable, or method to call? Add static analysis and it can actually be fairly useful. E.g. val name

  Believe me, it's been thought of (it's been in my head ever since my colleague Frank Seide introduced me to RNNs 4 years ago, I'm sure I wasn't the first!). It is one thing to generate code that looks like code, quite another to generate code that is useful. Character-by-character probably isn't good enough for this task. Anyways, I talk about how to use probability (but not compute it!) in http://research.microsoft.com/pubs/179363/mcdirmid12.pdf http://research.microsoft.com/pubs/179363/mcdirmid12.pdf

    The old Jungloid technique for Java factory automation/type conversions (I have an A, I want a B) seems like a possible use for this kind of thing. http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1065018 http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1065018

      There has been a lot of work on code mining. It still isn't that useful, and no one has used RNNs (well, there is one paper I remember reading).

  If a prediction engine can consistently predict your next line of code, wouldn't that be a sign that you're doing way too much copying and pasting instead of abstracting common patterns?
