Quality of output depends a lot on how common the code is in its training data. I would guess it'd be best at something like Python, with its wealth of teaching materials and examples out there.
It depends on how common the language is and how novel the idea is. It can not create something new. It isn't creative. It spits out what is predictable based on what other people have written before. It isn't intelligent. It's glorified auto-complete.
