Explore how AI agents are transforming software development and learn practical strategies for evolving programming languages and tools to enhance productivity for both developers and AI systems in this 38-minute conference talk from GOTO Copenhagen 2025. Discover how coding agents can be broken down into three distinct axes: instructions, tools, and runtimes, and examine concrete solutions including AGENTS.md specifications and runtime introspection techniques. Gain insights into improving developer and agentic experiences whether you're actively using AI tools in your daily workflow or building developer tooling infrastructure. Watch a live demonstration of integrated runtime concepts and understand how to build systems that seamlessly combine human and AI collaboration. Learn from the creator of Elixir as he navigates the uncharted waters of language evolution in the age of AI agents, covering everything from instruction optimization and tool integration to runtime improvements and building integrated development environments that support both traditional coding and AI-assisted development workflows.
