Rust macro that uses GPT3 codex to generate code at compiletime.
Just describe what you want the function to do and (optionally) define a function header. The macro will generate the sourcecode for you at compiletime.
rust
create_function!("checks if number is prime" fn is_prime(num: u64) -> bool);
will (usually) expand to something like:
rust
// A rust function that checks if number is prime
fn is_prime(num: u64) -> bool {
if num == 2 {
return true;
}
if num % 2 == 0 {
return false;
}
let mut i = 3;
while i * i <= num {
if num % i == 0 {
return false;
}
i += 2;
}
true
}
rust
create_function!("prints n elements of the fibonnacci sequence to stdout" fn fib(n: u64));
sometimes expands to:
rust
// prints n elements of the fibonnacci sequence to stdout
fn fib (n : u64) {
let mut a = 0;
let mut b = 1;
let mut c = 0;
for _ in 0..n {
c = a + b;
a = b;
b = c;
println!("{}", c);
}
}
| Pros | Cons | | ---- | ---- | | Spend less time coding simple utility functions and save your brainpower for the big problems | Compilation takes way longer | | Create more readable sourcecode — the documentation IS the sourcode. | You need to be part of the GPT3 Codex private beta | A little nondeterminism during compilation is fun! | GPT3 Codex will not always be free :(|
