Seeing Opus5.5 create surprisingly good video experiences mostly through code made me wonder if programming itself is close to another shift.
Today AI still writes Python, TypeScript, C++, Rust — languages designed for humans.
But eventually, why should AI keep programming through a layer built for human readability?
The next step may be a more machine-native language or intermediate layer, designed for AI to generate, verify, optimize, and execute directly.
If that happens, the efficiency gap could become enormous. Human programmers may eventually step out of the implementation layer almost entirely, leaving execution to AI.
I don’t think this is very far away. It will probably happen in stages.
When do you think the first real AI-native programming stack actually ships?
