zerolang is the most exciting thing I've ever built
I've been programming for nearly 30 years. Since the day I learned to code, I've been obsessed. Late nights, weekends, vacations. Software has been the thing I've thought about more than almost anything else
But this feels different
I find myself thinking about zerolang constantly. Not just how to improve the language, but what it could mean for the future of software development
In many ways, zerolang started with a question:
"What if json-render was a programming language?"
json-render was built around a simple idea: AI systems become dramatically more reliable when they operate on structured representations instead of unconstrained text and code
Instead of generating arbitrary React, models generate validated UI specs
Instead of guessing, they work within a defined semantic space
zerolang takes that same idea and applies it to software itself
What if programming languages were designed not only for humans, but also for agents?
What if agents worked with semantic program graphs instead of source text?
What if compilers exposed structure, changes, diagnostics directly instead of forcing models to reverse engineer them from strings?
I believe that's where software development is heading
We've made incredible progress in models, agent harnesses and dev tools
It won't happen overnight. But I believe the way we build software will fundamentally change
