Random Geek in limboI'm trying. I'm really trying to give Copilot a chance.
So far it's been offering reasonable Python code suggestions. Not great, but reasonable.
Too bad I was asking it about Raku and Nushell.
Okay, today I'm using Copilot with Go, a language where if you took out the boilerplate you'd have nothing left but whitespace.
And it's pretty good! I don't trust the autocomplete suggestions blindly, but it gets a fair chunk of the structure that I need for a given expression or block.
So hypothetically Copilot would also work well for TypeScript, which exists mainly to put a nice suit and tie on JavaScript. (in other words, loads of boilerplate)
🇨🇦 Josh Kellendonk@randomgeek We've been using Copilot extensively for typescript. It's definitely wrong more than right, and it has good days and bad days, it seems. But as you've observed, it seems to do pretty well on boilerplate and, I find, on generic glue code. And when it's wrong for larger sections of code, it's often still at least most of the way there - it just takes a little editing to fix.
