Then having ai generate code for my project didn't feel good either, I didn't really understand what it was doing so I would have to read it to understand, then what is the purpose, I might as well write it.

I then started playing, and out came a new type of programming language called plang (as in pseudo language). It allows you to write the details without all the boiler code.

I'm think I've stumbled on to something, and just starting to get noticed :) https://www.infoworld.com/article/3635189/11-cutting-edge-pr...

The way I designed the language I had the current languages in mind. Don't forget you are programming, it's just more natural, you need details

But also the main reason is that it's much more difficult to solve the intent when mixing multiple action into the same step. In theory it's possible but the language isn't there yet.

Yeah, I don't believe LLM will be able to code fully, they are analog trying to do something digital where everything needs to be 100% correct.

Plang being analog language I see the LLM is able to code so much more and it never has syntax, library or other build errors.

I've been developing a programming language that does this, the repo can be found here https://github.com/plangHQ

Here is a code example

  ReadFileAndUpdate
  - read file.txt in %content%
  - set %content.updated% as %now%
  - write %content% to file.txt

I call this intent based programming. There isn't a strict syntax (there are few rules), the developer creates a Goal (think function) and writes steps (start with -) to solve the goal

I've been using it for clients with very good results, and from the 9 months I've been able to build code using it, the experience has shown far less code needs to be written and you see the project from different perspective.

I am just one person atm, I cant really afford to give money :)

If you have OpenAI API key you can use that instead of going through the plang server.

Instead of 'plang' you run 'plang --llmservice=openai'
