The programming language for agents

What zerolang is

Zerolang is an experimental graph-native programming language where the semantic graph is the program database. Humans ask for outcomes. Agents query the graph, submit checked edits, and prove the result.

Transcript

Current AI coding loops waste tokens guessing and failing at code changes. Zerolang from Vercel Labs makes the semantic graph the program database itself. Agents query the graph directly with explicit handles—symbols, node IDs, types, effects—then submit checked edits that the compiler validates before writing to storage. It reached 5,239 stars fast by eliminating the entire edit-then-fail loop. Would you write code this way?
