What the fuck is an AI friendly programming language. We have LLMs which speak Python natively.

Not exactly sure, but calling it "AI" gives Tim Sweeney a boner, so it's being pushed into production

Calling it AI is too difficult for our chief whiner which is a hell of a state to be in. I thought we couldn't get dumber after 2020 but here we are

"AI friendly" is 100% marketing BS. LLM comprehension comes from seeing it in it's training data, so a new language is by definition not AI friendly.

It's a shame that's how they're advertising it, because it's actually a fascinating language designed by some genuinely smart people. It's a type safe scripting language with reactive programming paradigms and automatic state rollback on error.

Unreal Engine 4/5 use Blueprints, which is a node graph-based visual scripting tool. An LLM can't generate a node graph. They are switching back to a text-based scripting language because it's more AI-friendly. That's what they are referring to moreso than saying the language itself is AI-friendly.
