AI BASIC programming language?

In 80s, computers become "personal",
enabled by simple programming language: BASIC

In 2000s, communication become "personal",
enabled by WWW (HTML, HTTP, JavaScript...)

In 2020s, intelligence is becoming "personal".
Is there a place for simple AI interface language: "AI BASIC"?
(please don't say it is only Python :)

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is getting traction for AI agent-to-agent communication.
But how about human-to-agent, to be more specific than English?

"The BASIC programming language today is derided. It’s seen as slow and encourages bad programming practices. “Real” programmers use more advanced languages. That attitude is a real shame because BASIC was an attempt to allow anyone, even non-programmers, to use a computer, and as a learning tool it created a generation of coders. Rather than being dismissed, I think it should be seen as one of the most important programming languages ever created. Why was this simplistic language created, and where did it come from? And why was it on just about every home computer in the 1980s?"


BASIC - Wikipedia
BASIC (Beginners' All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code)[1] 
is a family of general-purpose, high-level programming languages 
designed for ease of use. 


Python, Java, C++, R, Julia, Haskel, Prolog, Scala



The programming iceberg is complete roadmap to the loved, hated, historical, and weird programming languages that you should now about. It starts with easy-to-learn coding tools, then descends into the most difficult low-level and esoteric languages. 

Featuring C, C++, C#, F#, HolyC, C--, Java, JavaScript, Python, Rust, Fortran, Lisp, V, Nim, Zig, APL, Ada, COBOL, Haskell, Scala, Clojure, Kotlin, Swift, Lua, PHP, Elixir, Erlang, Chef, Malbolge, lolcode, emojicode, ASM and many more!


WASM (WebAssembly) was not mentioned, while may be essential foundation for future languages.
