This is impressive, does anyone know what model it is using for the AI. It says "neural transcompiler", does that mean it is using a neural net?
Without some kind of efficiency benchmark, it's hard to say how useful this would be. You can make a universal transcompiler for anything that compiles into byte code by writing having a set function for every byte code, but obviously that would be horribly inefficient. I assume this wouldn't do something that awful, but without seeing what kind of code it outputs we don't know what it's like.
