The language of the future
When building agents, we care about two things: intelligence and cost.
We want to maximize intelligence while minimizing the cost of producing it.
Should agents even produce human-readable code?
Human-readable code is an intermediate layer that's only useful if humans must stay in the loop.
But what happens when agents become truly competent? At that point, humans will become a bottleneck.
Future agents may not write Python or JavaScript, or any other modern programming language. They may generate something entirely new, maybe even closer to bytecode.
It will be unreadable to us, but much more efficient for them.
