I wonder when we'll start to see languages designed exclusively to be easy to write by agent programming.

I'm always surprised when agents aren't working directly with the AST.
Maybe someone should use AI to write the code for that...
That is literally not true - is the author speaking about what he personally sees at his specific workplace(s)?
If 90% of the code at any given company is LLM-generated that is either a doomed company or a company doesn't write any relevant code to begin with.
I literally cannot imagine a serious company in which that is a viable scenario.

The real issue with doing this is that there is no body of code available to train your models on. As a result the first few look like opinionated Python.

But to have 20 copies of Claude Code running simultaneously and the code works so well you don't need testers == high on your own supply.
Re; Go, I don't want to use a language that is slower than C, LLM help or not.
Zig is the real next Javascript, not Rust or Go. It's as fast or faster than C, it compiles very fast, it has fast safe release modes. It has incredible meta programming, easier to use even than Lisp.

My take: Any gains from an "LLM-oriented language" will be swamped by the massive training set advantage held by existing mainstream languages. In order to compete, you would need to very rapidly build up a massive corpus of code examples in your new language, and the only way to do that is with... LLMs. Maybe it's feasible, but I suspect that it simply won't be worth the effort; existing languages are already good enough for LLMs to recursively self-improve.
