Hi Appeon,

 

Will PowerBuilder have the ability to interact directly with Copilot+ or other AI services ?

 

Thanks

Steen

 

ps. Please add an "AI"  TAG to the tags list in this community.

If the AI service is exposed as a web service, PowerBuilder apps could interact just like they can with other web services.

If you want to have AI write code, I'm not so sure that is a good idea. It would base it's answers on what it can find on the web in the online help and probably stackoverflow.

We have tried various AI engines to generate PB DW syntax for instance. Most have no idea and some are better but still generate invalid syntax. We have a long way to go before PB DW syntax is understood by the AI engines. Powerscript is better because it follows other language syntax constructs.

Hi Steen;

   Currently, that technology is not on the PB 2025 roadmap ...

FYI: https://www.appeon.com/developers/roadmap#upcoming

Guardar el código fuente en texto plano



El nuevo compilador guarda el código fuente como texto sin formato en lugar del formato binario propietario PBL:



El código fuente se almacena en texto sin formato para una mejor compatibilidad con herramientas de terceros y es posible editar el código fuente fuera del IDE de PowerBuilder.

La forma de origen y la forma de objeto de los objetos se almacenan por separado entre sí y de la información de configuración y los recursos. Esto reduce en gran medida la posibilidad de corrupción de archivos y mejora la confiabilidad y estabilidad del producto.

El código fuente de la aplicación ahora se administra como archivos de texto mediante el sistema de administración de control de fuente Git o SVN, lo que elimina las deficiencias causadas por la carga/descarga/fusión de PBL.

Hi Steen, You can do this today.  Of course not as convenient as if it was integrated, but you could still have AI write PowerScript code for you and you incorporate it in your project.  PB 2025 will have source code in plain text format so you could open it up another editor that has AI and write code for you directly.

Best regards,
Armeen

Are there any considerations from Appeon to support GitHub Copilot integration into the IDE after PB 2025 where it in theory may be possible after the deprecation of the pbl concept and code is stored in plain text?

 

While using copilot on web browser to generate and review code is possible, I have seen the benefits of having it be available in IDE as it is in VSCode for example to manipulate code directly.

Hi. Armeen.

Don't know the answer, but other companies may offer such an integration for their IDE's. I know as an example that JetBrains does...

Hi Andreas, From what I can tell, Microsoft made this extension not JetBrains. Unless Microsoft has public offering for any third-party to integrate CoPilot then our hands are sort of tied.

Hi Armeen.

You probably are right. I haven't tried the copilot plugin they offer. What I know, is that it works from almost all the IDEs they offer.

Andreas.
