The Programming Language for Agents
Zero is a new programming language designed for collaboration between humans and AI agents. It emphasizes explicit effects, predictable memory management, and structured compiler output. The language aims to facilitate the development of small native programs with a focus on clarity and ease of use for both humans and agents.
- ▪Zero is a systems language that allows humans and AI agents to read and repair programs together.
- ▪The language features explicit capabilities and avoids hidden runtime costs.
- ▪It includes a toolchain that provides structured diagnostics and repair metadata.
