Amazon CodeWhisperer and Microsoft Github Copilot:

summary:

. AI is being used for CASE

(computer-assisted software engineering).

. it is being trained on opensource code

and then applies techniques used by that code

to the specific needs of your code.

. the resulting code is free of any licensing agreements

because is considered fair use 

unless the software ideas are protected by patents

rather than merely copyright or copyleft.

. Amazon CodeWhisperer may be able to tell you

the license of the project its ideas were lifted from,

but Microsoft Github Copilot claims all its code

is sourced from and licensed by an AI, 

not from the projects that the AI studied.

c# type identifiers should be capitalized to protect future keywords

4.12: news.adda/lang/c#/
type identifiers should be capitalized to protect future keywords:

. when you are working with an evolving language,

you run the risk of creating identifiers

that the language will later want to use as keywords, 

reserved by the system.

. to support backward compatibility

if your language has a syntax like C#,

the only conflict is going to be when it is

your type identifiers that have become keywords,

because for all other identifiers

context can determine whether the keyword

has a system versus a local meaning.

. C# keywords will always be lower-case letters,

thus, your type identifiers must include

some upper-cased or non-alphabet characters,

or type identifiers should all be capitalized.
