Cursor CEO Michael Truell on the future of writing code: "Our goal with Cursor is to invent a new type of programming."
"It looks like a world where you have a representation of the logic of your software that does look more like English."
"You can imagine kind of an evolution of programming language towards pseudocode. You have written down the logic of the software, and you can edit that at a high level."
"It won't be the impenetrable millions of lines of code, it'll instead be something that's much terser and easier to understand and easier to navigate."

BREAKING: SpaceX has agreed to acquire Cursor, the world's fastest growing software startup, for $60 billion in an all stock deal.
Cursor has over 1 million paying customers, more than $2 billion in annualized revenue, and is projected to hit $6 billion by end of 2026.
At $60 billion, this is the largest software acquisition in history, paying 20 to 30 times Cursor's current revenue.
The deal is subject to regulatory approval and expected to close in Q3 2026.
SpaceX now owns the rockets, the satellites, the AI models, the chips, and is about to own the tool every developer on earth uses to write code.
BREAKING: SpaceX has announced a new deal with Google worth $920 million per month to provide AI computing power, according to a new filing.
As part of the deal, Google will pay SpaceX $920 million monthly from October this year to June 2029, with capacity ramping up through September at a reduced fee.
Google will use roughly 110,000 NVIDIA GPUs and other computing hardware, located inside SpaceX's data centers.
Under the agreement, Google can terminate the contract or reduce its payments if SpaceX fails to deliver the agreed AI computing capacity by the September 30 deadline, following a one-month grace period..
The deal follows SpaceX's recent AI compute agreement with Anthropic paying $1.25 billion per month through May 2029.
SpaceX's AI compute agreements with Anthropic and Google are expected to generate around $26 billion in annual revenue.
Anthropic secured a $900 billion valuation Thursday following a Series H fundraise of $65 billion, overtaking OpenAI as the world’s most valuable artificial intelligence startup. https://t.co/WxWNm33RIk (Photo: Fabrice Coffrini/AFP via Getty Images)
🚨 BREAKING: Anthropic released Claude Opus 4.8 today, just 41 days after 4.7.
The jump in six weeks:
agentic coding 64.3% → 69.2%
knowledge work 1753 → 1890.
It also overtook GPT-5.5 on financial analysis and knowledge work, the two benchmarks where 4.7 had trailed.
