Auto code generation using AI & Scala Macros
summary
A prototype compiles natural language into Scala by parsing dependency trees, mapping phrases to AST fragments and using Scala Macros plus runtime compilation to ask the compiler for compatible collection methods. It generates solutions (Euler Problem 1 demo), prunes invalid candidates by compile errors, and scores alternatives; one-line programs compile quickly and many ambiguous parses get eliminated. The system currently relies on rule mappings, type-driven runtime composition via compiler type queries and heuristic scoring.
