I am guessing that at some point a class of programming languages will be designed that is both optimal to generate by LLMs and easy to read/understand for humans. Right now most PLs are optimized for writing code by humans.

That is what makes them also optimal for LLMs as is. It would be more efficient to have something that is direct machine code, but LLMs are Large <Language> Models right?

> easy to read/understand for humans I think many languages are actually already optimized for this. Where "reading" means reasoning about what the program does and not just reading text.

Do we even need such a language, beyond just English / other human languages? IMO we’ll see LLM interpreters / compilers where the spec is the code, and whatever the LLM does in the background is opaque to the “programmer”.
