The next version of XState will be much more ergonomic, with a reduced API surface area, lower learning curve, and much easier for devs (and agents) to author.

But at the same time, frontier models are very good at writing XState.

I am looking forward to seeing it!

It feels bad because I know your team was working so hard pre AI to make state machines more accessible and bring such a powerful concept to the world.

I know it didn't pan out exactly, but I really want durable execution state machines that exceed workflows one day.

I keep thinking to myself can I enforce my AI layer to have some deterministic durable state machine running it and I'm not deep enough on them from a creator/author perspective to answer that question like you, but keep us posted on the changes.
