But I can't be arsed to learn it.

I do have an idea though - using an LLM to do code synthesis.

Code synthesis is similar to code generation, but unlike code generation code created via code synthesis looks as though it was written by a human being.

This is particularly important for things like parser generators, where generated code tends to be rigid. For example - a generated LL(1) parser always matches greedy while a hand rolled recursive descent parser will switch between greedy and lazy consumption as the situation calls for it. The end result is more compact and more efficient.

I don't recommend using parser generators because of the code they produce - unless you like source files in the hundreds of thousands of kilobytes or even megabytes. Code synthesis stands a good chance of changing that.

Things like Github Copilot can produce code. Code synthesis seems like this functionality.
