This isn't needed at all. If "AI" is half as good as we're reliably inform it is, "AI" can write anything you want in any language or combination of languages you want. It's got near infinite short term memory, no 5+-2 working memory limit, no cognitive biases, and it's the worst it's ever going to be.

Straight up imperative language programming would work. No need for crutches like object orientation, structured programming etc etc. Probably no need for any methodology. LLMs can't stand up, as it were, so agile isn't helpful.

why not write all code in assembly?
Indeed! Why not? The reason why humans need variables, functions, types, etc are all cognitive limitations of the human brain. "AI" should not be helped by those constraints.

Less ironically, because LLMs need the patterns of human cognition embodied in source. There's just not enough well commented assembly to train LLMs to imitate.
