Typical
Machines Will Run the World.
We're Making Sure They Can.
The Software Singularity Is Stalling
For decades, software engineering has evolved incrementally, but the horizon now holds a paradigm shift. Fully autonomous AI agents writing the software that runs the world is emerging as the next frontier. Yet fundamental barriers remain—challenges that simply cannot be solved merely by making AI smarter. We're pioneering the research to shatter these limits, unlocking the future where humans transition from code authorship to code governance.
Existing Languages Are Human-Centric.
C++, Rust, and Go were built on the assumption that a smart human would be writing the code. That worked—until now. LLMs aren't people. They don't reason like us. Teaching them to juggle concurrency or debug memory isn't just hard—it's likely intractable. What humans can tolerate—non-determinism, manual lifetimes, ad-hoc threading—is a wall for AI.
Why Are We Stalling?
The blocker isn't intelligence—it's infrastructure. Today's software engineering tools were never designed for autonomous agents. No amount of model growth can overcome a fundamentally misaligned substrate. AI innovation efforts are focused on model tweaks and expanding the compute footprint. But this is approaching its limits. Instead of trying to make AI smarter—perhaps it's time we reframe the problem so it *doesn't have to be*.
Typical—A New Paradigm
That Looks Like the Past.
Typical is a subtle adaptation of the TypeScript language. It's a marvel of engineering design that was uncovered by AI itself-using novel LLM-based methods we'll be publishing later this year. It achieves the unthinkable—bare-metal performance, zero garbage collection, full static analyzability, provable guarantees, and a concurrency model designed specifically for LLM authorship—and wrapped in a language with transparent memory management that looks and functions almost exactly like TypeScript.
This matters. It means the enormous power of Typical is instantly familiar to 20 million TypeScript developers. But more importantly, it can leverage the vast corpus of existing TypeScript training data.
Typical Isn't Actually About Code.
It's About Civilizational Coordination.
We're heading toward a future where AI doesn't just write code—it writes the code that runs everything. Law, finance, defense, energy, infrastructure, even governance—all mediated by autonomous systems.
But if the underpinnings of these agents aren't verifiable, full integration becomes impossible. This wouldn't cause intelligent coordination—rather emergent fragility, silent exploits, and systemic collapse.
Typical is the viable path forward. It's the only system that blends LLM affordances with the raw power needed to transition into a fully agentic civilization.
Typical Is Designed Like a
Geopolitical Primitive
We aren't a product company. We're an emerging research lab operating under a simple premise: if autonomous systems will one day run the infrastructure of civilization—then the foundations must be perfect.
We're following in the footsteps of Ada, not Agile. We don't ship fast. We ship permanent. This isn't a domain-specific tool or an academic experiment—it's a foundation meant to be embedded deep into the forthcoming civic infrastructure. You don't iterate on that. You get it right the first time.
That's why we're front-loading the design of every layer: novel compiler and LSP architecture, AI-native semantics, human auditability. We'll take as long as it takes. Because we only have one chance to get this right.
Typical Could Be The Last Major Language.
Everything after this will be written by machines. What matters now is: how do you control them? What language do you give them? What values do you bake in?
The substrate is Typical.
The authors are AI.
The governers are all of us.
