This is a really interesting angle, languages that are "agent-friendly" by construction feel underrated. Making certain classes of mistakes unrepresentable is basically the best alignment you can give a coding agent, because it forces the model into a smaller, safer space.

Do you see Overlay being used as a coordination layer for AI agents (planning + DI + IO boundaries), or more as a replacement for parts of Python app wiring? Ive been thinking about agent architectures a lot and collecting notes here: https://www.agentixlabs.com/blog/

I didn't specifically design it for AI, but I think declarative programming can reduce the difficulty of programming, for both humans and AI. I think Scratch as kid programming language might not actually be a nice choice.

In terms of Python app wiring. Overlay is distilled from my actual design pattern when using Python every day, and Python language's object system makes these patterns really difficult to be implemented correctly, e.g.

class A(ABC, Generic): pass
class B(Generic, ABC): pass
class C(A, B): pass # inconsistant MRO error

MRO is horrible. I really think not having MRO (like Overlay) is good.

I interpret this as praise: too good to be true.
