How long till we see a programming language made for AI?

seems like the programming languages we have now are not ideal for the human - ai interactivity. probably the next step would be a new language that skips the human coder and is optimized for prompts?

    Lisp, the second major programming language in history, was specifically designed for AI programming.

    Today's AI is really heuristics or ML and not "intelligence." All programming languages that already exist can be used to write ML programs and all human languages can be used as prompts (with a matching corpus).

    A programming language designed specifically to be generated using prompts would be useless because the AI would have no data to actually generate the code from prompts. You have to realize that so-called AI is more of a lossy search engine than an actual intelligent being.

    Lisp with all the money JS has had thrown at boring repeating problems would do more with the money and you'd get to see the explode out view of the structure and meaning at all levels in the information model.
