A programming language made for agents

Perhaps worth noting (this wasn't obvious to me from the web site but is revealed when you go to the GitHub project) that this is from Vercel. I agree that the expected use case could do with some fleshing out. For instance it isn't clear to me whether they mean "agent" as in "the AI thing everyone talks about now" or as in "just what you might have termed an agent a few years ago before AI".

Also interesting that a bunch of it is written in C. Wondering if that C code was LLM-generated.

The languages the agents will be best at are the ones that show up the most in the pretrain (python, bash, others)

Major API changes in things like Svelte have shown that this is actually not as true as we expected it to be.

Simon Willison has an good post about it

Agentic development is making explicit and strict programmings languages with robust tooling the future

Meh. The only new thing about it is capabilities, which they don't explain.
