Can AI write working code in 50+ programming languages from natural-language prompts ?

GitHub Copilot, powered by OpenAI Codex, crossed the line where most pull requests had AI-suggested lines in them. Software engineering changed shape.

Current AI systems have made significant progress in generating code from natural-language prompts, with some models demonstrating the ability to produce working code in multiple programming languages. However, the number of languages supported is typically limited to a handful, such as Python, Java, and C++. More advanced models have been trained on larger datasets and can generate code in a wider range of languages, but writing working code in 50+ programming languages remains a challenging task. The state of the art in this area is rapidly evolving, with new models and techniques being developed to improve the accuracy and versatility of code generation.
