@arstechnica Up to this point in our existence, there has never been a programming language which wasn't purpose-built or "intelligently" designed by human beings. To find what amounts to a organic, naturally self-generated programming language kind of boggles the mind, but nevertheless, here we are.

Imagine at some future point when we come to a level of comprehension and understanding of genetic coding the way that present-day programmers have of C, or Rust, or Python, etc.
