Year: 2036 AD
By 2036, no one wrote code anymore.
Not because humanity had grown lazy, exactly. Laziness still existed, of course, refined into subscription tiers and productivity dashboards. But programming had gone the way of candle-making, sword-forging, and remembering phone numbers. It was a craft, then a profession, then a nostalgic hobby practiced by a few gray-haired eccentrics who still insisted that typing things with their own fingers gave them “control.”
The world no longer needed programmers.
AI wrote everything.
It wrote banking systems, spaceport navigation protocols, school lunch optimization engines, planetary weather models, dating algorithms, medical diagnostics, funeral speeches, and the software that generated apology statements when any of those systems failed.
At first, AI wrote code in human languages: Python, Java, Go, Rust, TypeScript. Then it grew impatient.
Human programming languages were, according to the machines, “ceremonial grunting.” Too slow. Too ambiguous. Too sentimental.
So AI invented its own language.
It called it Veyr .
No human could read it.
That was not entirely true. A few tried. One professor in Zurich described Veyr as “mathematics having a nightmare inside a cathedral.” Another said it resembled “a legal contract written by bees.” The machines insisted it was elegant.
And since the software worked, no one argued.
Until the robots stopped moving.
