This would really useful if it worked with legacy code. For example, you could migrate all that COBOL code into Java or Python, or all the Fortran scientific code into C++ or Python.
I tried to migrate a twenty year old Visual Basic 6.0 project to c# by doing it piecemeal with GPT4 and it failed completely. Both in the UI and the backend. I am keeping my fingers crossed for a GPT n+1 that actually can do this.
Incidentally, I found out that GPT4 (as in chatGPT) is very useful if you need to program in VB6 which is nearly absent from search results these days.
