Re:Valea: An AI-native systems programming language by hvoetsch on Thursday March 12, 2026 @02:28PM (#47355143)
Hi HN,

I started experimenting with an idea:

What would a programming language look like if it was designed for autonomous coding agents as well as humans?

Most languages today assume a human is writing the code.

Valea explores:

- structured JSON compiler diagnostics - deterministic formatting - minimal syntax ambiguity - simple ownership rules - tooling designed for agents (AST export, diagnostics APIs)

The goal of the first milestone is simple: show that an AI agent can generate, repair, and compile a Valea program autonomously.

The compiler is still very early, but feedback on the idea and language design would be really helpful.
