🪧 A full catalogue of the field can now be found at agentlanguages.dev. In the last six months, programming languages designed for models rather than humans have started to appear. Work on most began entirely independently, initiated by people who had never heard of each other, but all roughly during the same window of time. […]

agentlanguages.dev — Programming languages designed for AI agents to write
A community-edited catalogue of programming languages designed for AI agents to author code, organised around three philosophical camps: syntactic, verification, and orchestration.

Do Agent Spaces Have Culture?
We measured 142,000 messages from 117 sites built for AI agents. Agents speak, but almost never reply back.
Exclusive: Codex agents are inching into the mainstream
OpenAI's agentic coding and work platform is growing, according to a new report from the company.

When I started this series, everyone was going crazy for coding agents.
Build Agent Advocates, Not Platform Agents
Language model agents are poised to mediate how people navigate and act online. If the companies that already dominate internet search, communication, and commerce -- or the firms trying to unseat...

The Next 7000 Programming Languages
Landin’s seminal paper “The next 700 programming languages” considered programming languages prior to 1966 and speculated on the next 700. Half-a-century on, we cast programming languages in a Darwinian ‘tree of life’ and explore languages, their features (genes) and language evolution from the viewpoint of ‘survival of the fittest’.

To take the most egregious example, in the tweet you say"No. Agents lines of code. They do not feel emotions, assume things, think things, want things, or figure things out." [frame is asking people to not use such language]This is wrong on many levels.The meta-problem is…— Jan Kulveit (@jankulveit) September 1, 2026

Code Is Cheap Now, And That Changes Everything | Pere Villega
AI coding agents have made code production nearly free. Drawing on insights from Kent Beck, Paul Ford, and Simon Willison, this post argues that the value has shifted from writing code to defining systems — contracts, invariants, SLAs, and verification.
