you can ask ai to write code in existing languages with large training sets, and it'll do better because of the large volume of training data.

if you're all-in on ai, you want to prioritize familiarity for agents.

The objective of this project isn't to make a language fit for AI to write but to make a "probably safe system language" regardless of who's doing the coding.

That would imply the AI should write every program in Python from now until the end of time; but just because the AI is most familiar with Python doesn’t mean we have to throw everything we know about system design and using the right tools for the job out of the window.
