I'm aware of https://hoogle.haskell.org/ which is kindof like that: You give it a type description and it tells you all the functions that have that type. Unfortunately, it's not actually that useful in my experience.
I once saw a sublime text plugin that someone could insert a description of a function and it'd automatically pull in code snippets from stackoverflow. It was cute, but I have serious reservations for some of the code I've seen in stackoverflow.
I imagine someone somewhere might have tried hooking up GPT-2 (or something) to a JIRA database of user stories and the diffs, and I'd be curious to know how that works.
The result of conceptualizing and abstracting different domains is in as much of a Wild West as itβs ever going to be today.
This reminds me I wanted to research about the theory of marketplaces to understand better how can we improve the market of reusable software components. By that I mean improving the process that we actually use to find and use or create and distribute reusable software components.
