men also thought it was impossible to get to the moon.
And it was impossible in, let's say, 1500AD. So, let's state that it's impossible *now*, but *may* be possible in a few hundred years. That, of course, doesn't help you... and if mIRC's still around then, I'll be amazed.
As mentioned, having code tell you what it does in plain english doesn't help if you know how to script. You will already know what it does. On a 3-5 line piece of script, it's not so hard to make it display plain english explanations. Consider a 5000 line piece of code with regex and sockets and hash tables and such. For it to be able to figure out what's going on and convert it to plain english, it would have to have pretty good AI... AI that isn't possible at this point in time.
Having it just tell you if there's a syntax error in the code wouldn't be that hard. That only really has to look at each line separately and find errors in syntax.
