I have seen some horrible code in my time including people virtually duplicating the code in comments

// add 4 to x
x+=4;

// for each i in 0 to 9 
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
    // multiply x by i
    x *= i;
}

Taking this concept further, I'm curious whether prose to code compilers exist.

• Is there a valid use case for English prose to code?
• Do compilers exist that do this?

The distinction between this and auto generated code, is that auto generated code is generally always a subset of a project. Can we have complete projects auto generated from english prose?

I realise that this might overlap with the concept of declarative languages.
