Yeah, well as mentioned, that is where it is going.
"Compiler 2.0: Building the Next Generation of Compilers with Machine Learning"
https://eecs.berkeley.edu/research/colloquium/compiler-2-0-b...
There are other researchers if you interest yourself on the matter.
Then the whole iPaaS agentic coding environments like Workato and Boomi, that even if they might generate 3GL as intermediate step, you don't get to see it.
Thanks for the link. I have also found a small trove as a warm-up. If anyone interested, here it is:

Using small, purpose built ML "things" to make things better makes sense. We use them everywhere. I never argued against it, as well.
