Alasdair Allan, the creator of Vera, has started a public catalogue at agentlanguages.dev: programming languages designed for AI agents to write.

In The Last Programming Language Might Not Be for Humans, I argued that if AI becomes the primary author of code, the source language has to bend around that author.

It is the first of May, Labour Day.

If you have ever tuned a WAF rule, you know the cycle.

In the previous article, I described running sixteen AI agents as a virtual company over Christmas 2025.
