I bet it almost certainly will come to mainline development tools in the next 5 years. It does, however, bring up some interesting legal points if someone unknowingly auto-completes a blob of code from an GPL or closed source project. This treads the fine line of auto-generated code and downright copying. My guess is that using IP violation code scanning tools to detect problems will be even more important.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>And just like that programmer&#8217;s were replaced by machine learning and pressing tab.
