#2So is it basically Markdown? The landing does not articulate, unfortunately, what the key contribution is.

#3I think stuff like Langflow and n8n are more likely to be adopted, alongside with some more formal specifications.

#4Getting so close to the idea. We will only have Englishscripts and don’t need code anymore. No compiling. No vibe coding. No coding. Https://jperla.com/blog/claude-electron-not-claudevm

#5We built LLMs so that you can express your ideas in English and no longer need to code.
Also, English is really too verbose and imprecise for coding, so we developed a programming language you can use instead.
Now, this gives me a business idea: are you tired of using CodeSpeak? Just explain your idea to our product in English and we'll generate CodeSpeak for you.

#6Instead of using tabs, it would be much better to show the comparison side by side.
Also, the examples feel forced, as if you use external libraries, you don't have to write your own "Decode RFC 2047"

#7This doesn't seem particularly formal. I still remain unconvinced reducing is really going to be valuable. Code obviously is as formal as it gets but as you trend away from that you quickly introduce problems that arise from lack of formality. I could see a world in which we're all just writing tests in the form of something like Gherkin though.

#8I for one can't wait to be a confident CodeSpeak programmer /sarc
Does this make it a 6th generation language?

#9You can basically condense this entire "language" into a set of markdown rules and use it as a skill in your planning pipeline.
And whatever codespeak offers is like a weird VCS wrapper around this. I can already version and diff my skills, plans properly and following that my LLM generated features should be scoped properly and be worked on in their own branches. This imo will just give rise to a reason for people to make huge 8k-10k line changes in a commit.

I tried looking through some of the spec samples, and it was not clear what the "language" was or that there was any syntax. It just looks like a terse spec.
