This is a question that has been at the back of my mind for some time. I may be very wrong.

I always thought of an interpreter as a translator, while a compiler was a translator and optimizer.

So my question - can LLMs do this? They are really good at contextualizing and generating code - so why not build a compiler that is basically an LLM?
