Feature Request: Add Support for Multiple Programming Languages

Currently, CodexAI primarily functions with a specific programming language for code review. To enhance the user experience and broaden the user base, it would be beneficial to implement support for multiple programming languages, such as Python, Java, C++, and JavaScript.

Benefits:

• Wider User Base: Attract more users from different programming backgrounds.
• Increased Versatility: Users can review code in their preferred languages without needing to look for alternative tools.
• Enhanced Learning: It can help learners understand best practices across various programming languages, fostering cross-language knowledge.

Suggested Approach:

• Utilize a language detection library to identify the programming language of pasted code.
• Implement language-specific review algorithms/feedback that cater to the nuances of each programming language.

Additional Considerations:

• Update the UI to allow users to select their programming language prior to code submission.
• Ensure that the syntax highlighting feature works seamlessly for all supported languages.

This feature would greatly enhance the functionality and appeal of CodexAI as a multi-language code review tool.

Hey @crowrooster971 👋

Thanks a lot for opening this issue and for the awesome suggestion!
Supporting multiple programming languages like Python, Java, C++, and JavaScript would definitely make CodexAI more versatile and valuable to a wider audience.

Here’s what we can do next to plan this feature:

Implementation Plan

1.Language Detection

Use a library such as guesslang(https://github.com/yoeo/guesslang) or pygments(https://pygments.org/)
for automatic language detection.

Alternatively, allow users to manually select their language in the UI.

2.Language-Specific Review Logic

Create separate review modules for each language, e.g.:
/review_engines/
├── python_reviewer.py
├── java_reviewer.py
├── cpp_reviewer.py
└── js_reviewer.py
Each module can contain rules, style checks, or best practices relevant to that language.

3.Frontend Updates

Add a dropdown or toggle for users to select a language before submitting their code.

Ensure syntax highlighting works for all supported languages (e.g., using Prism.js or Highlight.js).

4.Backend Updates

Modify the review endpoint to detect the language and route the code to the respective review engine.

✅How You Can Contribute

If you'd like to take this up:

Please start by creating a new branch named something like feature/multi-language-support.

Begin with adding language detection and updating the UI to allow language selection.

Once ready, open a draft PR so we can review progress and discuss further improvements.
