Reading the paper, the connection to compilers is more of an analogy rather than a direct technical link.

The authors propose using an LLM to reframe the task as high level psuedocode, and then reason on that code on the specific details of the task

No compilers were used or compiled - no real code was generated or executed. Its just the idea that a programming language syntax has good structure to process details, and a way to interpret some of the results. Many of the other comments here seem like they didn't read the paper at all and are reacting to the headline
