An AI-first program synthesis framework built around a new programming language

Erik Meijer introduces Universalis, an AI-first programming language prioritizing human readability and machine execution. It uses natural language structure with Excel-like formulas, making it accessible to non-programmers and AI systems. Universalis features built-in safety through pre- and post-conditions, supports conditionals, implicit collection processing, query comprehensions, and pattern matching. Its simplicity allows anyone familiar with basic Excel formulas to understand the code.
