This is something I’ve been thinking about for some time, a new type of programming that uses an ai model for parsing. It’s a interesting thought that can lead down many rabbit holes. You could have AI interpret a lot of expressiveness into a language while having an optimizing AI turn whatever crazy thing we come up with into fast code.

For any prospective language designers out there. Please don’t make human based language programming a thing again. That’s an idea that should stay in the waste bin. A language that describes programs shouldn’t be ambiguous. I also wouldn’t trust any AI—no matter how smart—to create code I’d be happy with, unless I could go into very specific detail.

No limits on structure serialization though. Make that a one liner please
