Why even assume that the most optimal programming languages for agentic coding are the ones that humans use? Maybe operate on ASTs directly? Some other form of programming that humans would find hard but that is a good fit for LLMs?

Right on every count except that it needs to be bad for people

AI still makes mistakes on code with a trillion billion examples, but let’s invent a DSL that only AI can read and hope for the best?

		Yes, because that code was never written to be understood by machines, merely to be mechanically translated. Software is a very messy set of layers of leaky abstractions trying to express reasonably well defined ideas. Humans can't write code without mistakes, in spite of all the examples out there. If they could compilers wouldn't have to emit error messages.

Because human review is a serious bottleneck and optimizing something that isn't the bottleneck isn't helpful
