| Update: On New Year's Eve I announced NERD - a language built for LLMs, not for human authorship. The response was unexpectedly overwhelming. Questions, excitement, discussions, roasting - all of it. But one question struck me: "What use case is this language built for?" Fair. Instead of a general-purpose language covering all features - some of which may not even be relevant because we're not building apps the old way anymore - I picked one: agent-first. What this means - you can now run an agent in NERD with one line of code: -- Nerd code
llm claude "What is Cloudflare Workers?" No imports. No boilerplate. No framework. The insight from working with agents and MCP: tools are absorbing integration complexity. Auth, retries, rate limiting - all moving into tool providers. What's left for agents? Orchestration. And orchestration doesn't need much:
→ LLM calls
→ Tool calls
→ Control flow
→ That's it. Every language today - Python, TypeScript, Java - was built for something else, then repurposed for agents. NERD starts from agents. Fully story here: https://www.nerd-lang.org/agent-first |
