Collins Dictionary has named "vibe coding" as its word of the year for 2025. This term describes the process of creating apps by simply describing them to AI instead of writing traditional code. While it simplifies programming for non-coders, the results can still be hit or miss.

Stephen Ramsay critiques the concept of vibe coding, expressing his discomfort with it while acknowledging its effectiveness. He questions why vibe coding uses traditional programming languages designed for human readability when a language tailored for machine efficiency could be more suitable. Ramsay explores the potential for a new "vibe-oriented programming language" that could streamline the coding process further.
