    The creator of ReScript and MoonBit, Hongbo Zhang, wrote a blog on how to design a new programming language for the LLM age. Zhang asserts that future programming languages need to focus on improving communication with large models to fully harness the potential of generative AI coding in real-world workflows. His latest project, MoonBit, tackles security and reliability issues in AI coding through the implementation of a secure type system, WebAssembly-based sandboxing security, dead code elimination, expect testing, local and global resampling, as well as a real-time semantic analysis tool based on tokens.
