If you truly believe in the potential of agentic AI, then the logical conclusion is that programming languages will become the assembly languages of the 21st century. This may or may not become the unfortunate reality.
I'd bet money that in less than six months, there'll be some buzz around a "programming language for agents".
Whether that's going to make sense, I have some doubts, but as you say: For an LLM optimist, it's the logical conclusion. Code wouldn't need to be optimised for humans to read or modify, but for models, and natural language is a bit of an unnecessary layer in that vision.
Personally I'm not an LLM optimist, so I think the popular stack will remain focused on humans. Perhaps tilting a bit more towards readability and less towards typing efficiency, but many existing programming languages, tools and frameworks already optimise for that.
