> Impressive. As a practical matter, one wonders what th point would be in creating a new programming languages if the programmer no longer has to write or read code.

I'm working on a language as well (hoping to debut by end of month), but the premise of the language is that it's designed like so:

1) It maximizes local reasoning and minimizes global complexity

2) It makes the vast majority of bugs / illegal states impossible to represent

3) It makes writing correct, concurrent code as maximally expressive as possible (where LLMs excel)

4) It maximizes optionality for performance increases (it's always just flipping option switches - mostly at the class and function input level, occassionaly at the instruction level)

The idea is that it should be as easy as possible for an LLM to write it (especially convert other languages to), and as easy as possible for you to understand it, while being almost as fast as absolutely perfect C code, and by virtue of the design of the language - at the human review phase you have minimal concerns of hidden gotcha bugs.

How does a programming language prevent the vast majority of bugs? I feel like we would all be using that language!
