I feel things get even worse when you use a more niche language. I get extremely disappointed any time I try to get it do anything useful in Clojure. Even as a search engine, especially when asking it about libraries, these tools completely fail expectation.

I can't even fathom how frustrating such tools would be with poorly written confusing Clojure code using some niche dependency.

That being said, I can imagine a whole class of problems where this could succeed very well at and provide value. Then again, the type of problems that I feel these systems could get right 99% of the time are problems that a skilled developer could fix in minutes.
