Why is this so heavily upvoted? Does anyone here really think that Uther doesn’t know what a compiler is? The goal here is obviously to have something better than a compiler that does as much of the work for the programmer as possible.
Sorry if I’m coming off as confrontational, but I’m sick of the complete lack of charity towards the people xixidu is interviewing, especially on technical questions where, unless you do research in machine learning, they almost certainly know more than you.
I also suspect that any “automatic programming” tool that ends up being useful will eventually end up being called a compiler anyway, even if it does do something useful that today’s compilers don’t.

It was supposed to be a joke. :(
