AI Doesn't Need Your Programming Language

Why the future of code is simpler than you think — and why that matters for everyone, not just non-English speakers. The Question Nobody's Asking Here's something odd about the current AI coding revolution: we're using AI to generate JavaScript, Python, TypeScript — languages that were designed for humans to write. But humans aren't writing the code any more. The AI is. So why are we still optimising for human writability? The answer, of course, is that humans still need to read the code — to verify it, debug it, and maintain it. But here's the thing: the languages we use make that harder than it needs to be. A hundred lines of React with hooks, closures, and async/await is not easy for a human to verify. It wasn't easy when a human wrote it. It's certainly not easy when an AI wrote it and you're trying to decide whether to trust it. What if the AI wrote in something simpler? The Case for Simpler Languages This isn't about dumbing things down. It's about recognising that the economics
