I'm also making a language. Of course, it's a project no one will use, and I'm building it with AI, but I enjoy translating my thoughts into it.[1]

Personally, I think new languages will end up taking a form similar to the grammar of existing languages, but with different semantics. That's because when I tried a completely new grammar, the AI couldn't generate code well, so I ended up spending time bringing in TypeScript's grammar and converting it into my language's mental model.

My language isn't anywhere near as sophisticated as the languages the developers here boast about creating (it's actually lower), but these days it at least runs, even if it's full of bugs. So sometimes I think that many people like me will develop languages, and that programming might end up becoming fragmented.
