I think it will eventually be its own dialect of English. Telling LLMs what to do is better using not quite normal English and I think this will continue until it isn't recognizable as natural English anymore, but a new fuzzy programming language (probably >1).

I believe new (programming) languages will emerge both for LLMs to parse and take instructions from as well as for them to generate code in. The former is because English is a nuanced language evolved for human usage which the LLMs don't quite need, with the only advantage of it being a metric ton of training material. Same goes for Rust, Go and other languages LLMs do primarily well coding in, which all have concepts geared towards human convenience.
