#agentic-engineering

There are these people that write software the old way, and the old way is going to go away. They call it 'vibe coding.' I think vibe coding is a slur. What's wrong with the term is that it implies ease. They don't understand that it's a skill.

Last year I first started thinking about what the future of programming languages might look like now that agentic engineering is a growing thing. Initially I felt that the enormous corpus of pre-existing code would cement existing languages in place but now I'm starting to think the opposite is true. Here I want to outline my thinking on why we are going to see more new programming languages and why there is quite a bit of space for interesting innovation.
