Google AI has recently published results on ML-enhanced code compilation and how it improved developers’ productivity considering different metrics.
Code compilation is an essential tool in any integrated development environment (IDE) to assist developers in writing codes. These systems are mainly rule-based or semantic-based in which it has access to the full repository and structure of the programming languages. The rapid advances in natural language processing (NLP) opened a new direction to use deep learning models in providing smarter suggestions for developers. As one of the recent examples, we can call Copilot a new AI service for code compilation by Github.
