English Is Now the #1 Programming Language (Here's Why)

Jensen Huang said it. GitHub's data backs it up. The fastest growing programming language in the world isn't Python, Rust, or JavaScript. It's English. Sounds like hype, right? But developers are already shipping real software by describing what they want in plain language and letting AI translate intent into code. Some universities now let students solve assignments through prompts instead of syntax. And senior engineers are surprisingly on board. So is this the end of learning to code? Or just a new layer of abstraction, the same way Python replaced assembly? 🔎 In this video, we break down: ✅ Why English is being called the newest programming language ✅ How AI turns plain language into working software ✅ What senior engineers actually think (augmenter, not replacement) ✅ How universities are teaching prompting instead of syntax ✅ The new hybrid skill every developer will need ✅ What this means for solo founders and non-coders 📌 Chapters: 00:00 - Is English really a programming language? 01:10 - How we got here: from assembly to AI 02:30 - Developers coding in plain language 03:45 - The skeptics: why syntax still matters 05:09 - The calculator argument 05:37 - How classrooms are adapting 05:52 - Coding + prompting: the hybrid skill 06:04 - The verdict 06:52 - What comes next 👇 Do you think prompting will replace coding, or is syntax here to stay?
