[Haskell-cafe] transcoding - Haskell?!

I wonder if this would be true: https://www.theolognion.com/circular-ts-js-ts-js-transpiling-yields-impressive-results/

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.”
