I'm writing a Python to C++ translator for https://www.oilshell.org. The shell itself is less than 40K lines of code and the translator is ~4-8K lines.
And I even have a 50K euro NLNet grant to hire someone!

But I don't think there is anything interesting in this repo. It doesn't show anything that works, and doesn't really make any claims.
But maybe it would be a fun illustration of the limitations of AI. So I would propose that if you can get even 1000 lines of Oil's code translating and running correctly with AI, I will award you a big part of my grant.
I think it's impossible with the state of the art. I don't have much interest in current ML techniques, but I'm credited on a deep learning paper with thousands of citations, so it's not a totally uneducated claim.

On the other hand, I'm looking for a C++ / Python / compiler engineer, particularly in the European Union. Please take a look at Oil Is Being Implemented "Middle Out" [1] and send leads my way :) (e-mail in profile)
