Uh not really. I am already having Claude read and then one-shot proprietary ERP code written in vintage closed source language OOP oriented BASIC with sparse documentation.... just needed to feed it in the millions of lines of code i have and it works.

I'm sure claude does great at that, but it would be objectively better, for a large variety of reasons, if claude didn't have to keep syntax examples in it's context.

for sure. About 6 months ago it absolutely couldn't do it and kept getting cofnused even when i tried to do RAG against the manuals provided (only downloadable from a shady .ru site LOL) but now .. like butter. The context seems to mostly be it reading and writing related stuff?
