Amazon CodeWhisperer, Free for Individual Use, Is Now Generally Available
Just a thought that I have not fleshed out and can even see some problems with, but: will we arrive at a point or will it even be desirable to get to a point where the text in your source "code" just remains the instruction you've given to the AI? In other words, Amazon's example on the linked page is:<p>> /*Create a lambda function that stores the body of the SQS message into a hash key of a DynamoDB table.<p>Now, obviously that is not valid Java syntax and javac will fail on that, but could/would it be possible to just build an intermediate tool that'll expand this into Java (or whatever other language) so that you don't need to even see the expanded code in your editor, like the same way you don't need to see bytecode?<p>I get that practically, right now, that would be ill-advised since the AI may not be reliable enough and there are probably more cases than not where you need to tweak or add some logic specific to your domain, etc. But still, theoretically is that where we are heading, i.e. a world in which even what are now considered high level langs get shoved down further below and are considered internal/low level details?
