I disagree. I think WAT (WebAssembly Text), perhaps with some more niceties added, is an ideal language for AI-assisted software engineering.

AI agents can only reason about a certain number of things at a time. Time (and tokens) they spend reasoning about how to create a stack calling convention in assembly is time they don't spend reasoning about business logic.
