This weekend I was thinking about programming languages. Programming languages for agents. Will we see them? I believe people will (and should!) try to build some. https://lucumr.pocoo.org/2026/2/9/a-language-for-agents/

@mitsuhiko some of the points made, like local reasoning, align nicely with this post from Jose Valím on why agents are good with Elixir: https://dashbit.co/blog/why-elixir-best-language-for-ai Certainly also aligns with my experience.

@mitsuhiko I think Gleam has a decent chance of being good with models.

@mitsuhiko Now that you mention it, I find it so weird that we organize code in lines. They have a weak relation to meaning. Depending on how you format code, meaning can map in totally different ways to lines. If only there was a way to address parts of the abstract syntax tree instead. You could actually extract a complete piece of meaning from a file.
