I've wondered to myself here and there if new languages wouldn't be specifically written for LLM agentic coding, and what that might look like.

I had the thought of an AI-specific bytecode a while ago, but since then it's seemed a little silly -- the only langs that work well with agentic coding are the major ones with big open-source corpuses and SO/reddit discussions to train on.
I also saw something about a bytecode for prompts, which again seems to miss the point -- natural language is the win here.
What is kind of mysterious about the whole thing is that LLMs aren't compilers yet they grok code really well. It's always been a mystery to me that tools weren't smarter and then with LLMs the tooling became smarter than the compiler, and yet ... if it actually was a compiler we could choose to instruct it with code and get deterministic results. Something about the chaos is the very value they provide.
