which is basically English, which describes how you want to see

It will be a mix between Basic and Cobol. I like what JetBrains do, but that's a stupid idea.

I'm guessing it'll be closer to bytecode, since they're very java focused.

Nobody writes byte code directly.

That is not what I said.

They're designing a language that supposedly writes like English. Why would you not compile English straight to bytecode? Since they made Kotlin run in the jvm, they're likely gonna make this run on the jvm as well. They could make another intermediate language, but they could also make an advances interpreter or compiler that compiles english straight to bytecode. Nobody needs to read or write that, they reading and wrting English.

Also, yes they do. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbNv6rdYJL0
Maybe not many and even less do it proffesionally, but its not none
