Vercel Labs released zerolang, a dedicated programming language for agents with safety contracts, native compiler, and VS Code extension (v0.2.0). Vercel CLI became a self-updating binary with zero external dependencies, driven by agent usage. This signals a new trend of purpose-built tools for agent development, beyond traditional frameworks. The language-level abstraction aims to provide safety and composability for multi-agent workflows. New: MCP Bridge by Appfactor auto-generates typed schemas and auth for any REST/GraphQL/SOAP/gRPC API, fitting the agent integration trend.
