oil
Oils is our upgrade path from bash to a better language and runtime. It's also for Python and JavaScript users who avoid shell!
I'm writing a Python to C++ translator for https://www.oilshell.org, which is less than 40K lines of code. And I even have a 50K 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 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 today, but I am credited on a deep learning paper with thousands of citations, so it's not a totally uneducated claim.
