This seems like a step backwards. Programming Languages for LLMs need a lot of built in guarantees and restrictions. Code should be dense. I don't really know what to make of this project. This looks like it would make everything way worse.

I've had good success getting LLMs to write complicated stuff in haskell, because at the end of the day I am less worried about a few errant LLM lines of code passing both the type checking and the test suite and causing damage.

It is both amazing and I guess also not surprising that most vibe coding is focused on python and javascript, where my experience has been that the models need so much oversight and handholding that it makes them a simple liability.

The ideal programming language is one where a program is nothing but a set of concise, extremely precise, yet composable specifications that the _compiler_ turns into efficient machine code. I don't think English is that programming language.
