<p class="MsoNormal">Haskell has so many language extensions and pragmas, and people use many local extensions with monads to basically create DIY DSL’s – that the code becomes very dense and context specific.<o:p></o:p></p>

</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black">Facebook says its TransCoder can convert code from one high-level programming language into another. The system, which Facebook researchers describe as “a neural transcompiler,”
uses an unsupervised learning approach to translate between languages like C++, Java, and Python. The researchers trained TransCoder on a public GitHub corpus featuring more than 2.8 million open source repositories. To evaluate its capabilities, the researchers
extracted 852 parallel functions in C++, Java, and Python from the online GeeksforGeeks platform and developed a new computational accuracy metric that tests whether hypothesis functions generate the same outputs as a reference when given the same inputs.
Wrote the researchers, “TransCoder can easily be generalized to any programming language, does not require any expert knowledge, and outperforms commercial solutions by a large margin.”</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
