Vercel Labs just dropped a new systems language called Zero whose compiler speaks JSON, whose effects live in your function signatures, and whose binaries weigh less than ten kilobytes. The pitch is simple: a language where an AI agent can read a compiler error, ask for a typed fix, and ship a native program without a human in the loop. Here is what Zero actually is, what it is not, and whether the agent-first compiler is a clever bet or a Vercel side project you can safely ignore.
