Microsoft is collaborating with researchers at the University of Cambridge to develop an AI which can turn your descriptions into working code in seconds.
Called DeepCoder, the software can take requirements by the developer, search through a massive database of code snippets, and deliver working code in seconds, a significant advance in the state of the art in program synthesis.
"The potential for automation that this kind of technology offers could really signify an enormous [reduction] in the amount of effort it takes to develop code," says Armando Solar-Lezama of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. "All of a sudden people could be so much more productive. They could build systems that it [would be] impossible to build before."
