Can LLMs generate only one style of website? Inter font, dark background, elements that fade in, code in a macOS shell container, neverending lists of features, too many buzzwords.

God they all look the same, and I have permanently associated this style with slop.

That said, a fully vibe coded language created 7 hours ago and published 6. Have you built anything with it in the intervening hour to try it out at least? To make sure it does what it says on the tin. Or you just one shot the thing with Claude and published without review?

I know, right. But I think you might be surprised to find a real language under the AI veneer. It won't be for everyone, but for some folks out there it will map more closely to how they already code in their head.

Either way, it has several features that walk new trails in language design, for better or worse.

The grammar has been marinating for 10+ years, but life kept getting in the way of the implementation.

Hope you'll give it a second look, would be interested to hear your opinion on the language itself.

So just my 2 cents: I also have an immediate "ick" reaction when I see the vibe-coded aesthetic of the website itself, expecting the worst, as well as serious ethical concerns about using LLMs at this point in history. Luckily in this case, it also was (somehow) immediately obvious to me that actual thought was put into the language, so I was willing to take a closer look to see if some genuine effort was put into it.

But be aware that a lot of people won't be willing to do that. Based on my experience in proglang chat servers and fora I'd say that most of the people with the niche interests most relevant to you (deep dives into non-standard ideas for proglang design & implementation) are in that subgroup. Especially the ones with inspiring ideas and knowledge to share.

Beyond expecting honesty about the usage of LLMs I'm not going to say anything about whether you should use them to develop your langoage or not, that's up to you. But I'd strongly advice for avoiding it in the presentation side of the language (website, whatever) at all costs, because it will get in the way of connecting with your potential audience more than it will help.

To give a point of comparison: you are undoubtedly aware of the issue that popular open source projects have with slop PRs? One problem is that it is so much harder to to see where the LLM output ends and where human effort starts. And the last part is where the actual conversation takes place! Having to filter for that is just exhausting and starts to feel disrespectful.

When I'm reading your language I want to read the part of it that is your language, not the LLM generated bits of it. The LLM aestetic and writing style of the website is an extra layer between me and your thoughts, and it's distracting the same way a chain smoker's body odor is distracting to non-smokers despite being oblivious to it themselves. If this is a language you're passionate about, and it looks like it, then I'd say it deserves better than that.
