Is Sanskrit the best language to program computers and AI?

Ramachandran quotes a variety of sources--Indian government officials, a motley bunch of academics and Indian-American author Rajiv Malhotra, who goes on to claim that Sanskrit should be credited with the last 20 years of development in Natural Language Processing (NLP), the technology behind prominent LLMs like GPT-3, DALL-E 2, etc. The claims are wide-ranging: Sanskrit is the most'scientific' language, and so the "best to programme computers, or code AI/ML"; it is the "language for future super computers", etc. One common source that everyone cites, and which Ramachandran explores in detail, is "Nasa". Yes, the same Nasa that sends rockets into space. The reference actually has a published source, a 1985 paper'Knowledge Representation in Sanskrit and Artificial Intelligence' by Nasa researcher Rick Briggs (bit.ly/3qrIjMr).
