Would it be interesting if all code would just be in plain english? Its a wild concept and AI agents like claude code are using structured .md files or "skill.md" to define entire repeatable workflows.
Markdown is not just for formating or writing articles anymore, its becoming a lightwieght way to program and easy to be understood by AI agents
Markdown has a whole ecosystem formed around it, MCP (Model Context Protocol), and AI harnesses that connect agents to real eternal tools. AI harnessing is scaffolding a model and turning it from a chatbot into something that can actually do things.
It has some limitations that doesnt make it a real trade off as per now August 2026, things like token cost, hallucinations and workflow entropy.
so with vast change in technology could markdown become the next programming language?
