  • #120 Aver AI-Native Programming Language with Szymon Teżewski
    Jun 2 2026

    We dive into the new Aver programming language with its creator, Szymon Teżewski: The AI-native language where code explains itself.Aver is a language where every function carries its intent, side effects are visible in the type system, and tests are executable specs next to the code.
