I have a few weird syntax I've worked on in the past so this is definitely possible. Currently only the textual representation and structural editor are in the repo. The most different I have done is a layout where the AST was presented like a file tree.

I believe this was a separation that existed in the role of programmer (logic cognition) from coder (details) in the early days of computing. I previously read a good post about this but can't find it now.

Bringing a sound and totally inferred type system, including of all effects. Is the main dimension. It also aims to improve the friction around managing dependencies.

Thank you. I have some new editor features I hope to share once the package management is improved.

I'm not sure "normies" is the right grouping. I think that is too broad some people are artists and some people just aren't that curious to try. I think a better group to target is "makers" I think that's anyone with enough ambition to at least try and fix a plug or change a lightbulb.

I think this is a point I should make more clearly. And there are more examples of programmable environments. Excel being one.

New comment by crowdhailer in "Abstracting Effects with Continuations"

crowdhailer — Fri, 17 Jul 2026 07:39:57 +0000

I'm enjoying the resurrection of all these concepts. I hear it explained as agents work best with feedback/constraints, my confusion is I believe people do as well so why were they not so popular before. Either way it's nice to see it happening and I'm very bullish on Gleam continuing to be a good choice.

I think that friction of feedback and friction of construction are two different things. Having lots of tokens to build things doesn't mean you have more feedback. I'm a bun user I like it. I can't really comment from my use on what the Zig vs Rust rewrite means to me.
