MODERATORS
This kind of seems like a solution in search of a problem. Most modern high level programming languages are easily readable, 'english oriented', and already capable of at least some level of cross platform development.
One of the main problems with any programing language or framework is that flexibility breeds complexity. If they seriously think they're going to lower the complexity of programming by allowing devs to write programs [essentially] in plain English, and then let AI do the rest, I think it's a recipe for disappointment.
Not like it's a bad things. A lot of inventions started this way.
But also, a lot of programming languages exist simply because a programmer really wanted to write a programming language.
Yes, and it's good that programming languages are still experimented with, otherwise we'd still be writing assembly.
I don't have high hopes for it to be actually useful. They already have Kotlin, which feels like a playground for language designers.
Yeah... Kotlin is an unreadable nightmare.
It's the "I'm scared of brackets" crowd again.
