The only languages Im interested in are future proof AI resistant languages. Since LLMs need alot of training (because they cant read language ASTs and write code correctly), a language that either isnt possible to express using fonts and character sets on the Internet, can only live in a private cloud, and is known to only verified practitioners runs on everything, and yet cant be decompiled.
You can launch a nuclear war in 5 lines of Visual Basic. I want a language AI doesnt know and cannot ever know.
>and cannot ever know
It might be resistant to human uptake in that case, too? Brett Victor I suppose has some interesting human-first or human-only physical computers.
Thats ok. We have done enough language research to build another powerhouse language that is AI resistant that practitioners can use. Its uptake is only relevant to those that wish to exclude LLMs from the picture to resist the agents. When LLM agents are everywhere secret societies will become the norm.
We may even have the expertise to actually transpile every single program into a unique programming language so that if the source were available LLM bots would not recognize it in any volume enough to learn from it.

I suggest https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitespace_%28programming_lang..., which consists purely of white space, which isn't tokenized by LLMs. The code is very easy on the eye.
You better start writing your own compilers then
This, however, has always been true and is not just an issue of AI.
