Assume mainstream adoption as used by around 7% of all github projects

Personally, I’d like to see Nim get that growth.

    A compiler has mostly fixed rules for translation. The English language often is ambiguous and there are many ways to implement something based on a verbal description.

    Programming by using the ai as a “compiler” would likely lead to many bugs that will be hard to impossible to trace without knowing the underlying implementation. But hitting compile again may lead to an accidental correct implementation and you’d be none the wiser why the test suddenly passes.

    It’s ok as an assistant to generate boilerplate code, and warn you about some bugs / issues. Maybe a baseline implementation.

    But by the time you’ve exactly described what and how you want it you may as well just write some higher level code.
