I'm not sure how we would go about this if there is no file extension to determine the language of the code that is being written.

@sestinj lmk your thoughts though.

However, in practice, VSCode determines the type of language based on the code you input or by selecting the language for the current text being edited. Therefore, it should be possible to determine the language used in the current unnamed file through this information. Other extensions can achieve this, such as Copilot, Lingma (developed by Alibaba), or Twinny (https://github.com/twinnydotdev/twinny).

We should be able to do at least a decent job without needing to parse the AST. I actually think there might be a glaring bug where we don't pass any context to the model in unsaved files. I'll look into this and see if there is something so obvious

I have found that the 'continue' statement can autocomplete code in an unsaved Jupyter file, but it can't in other unsaved files. I hope this is helpful for you to find bugs.
