@nolan@toot.cafe I think what I'm really hoping for is that someday we *will* look back on how silly it was that we typed JavaScript syntax with our fingers, but because we chose a different fork in the road and started writing Paul Graham-style super-dense Lisp or somesuch instead. (Edit: Or maybe we'll start writing and using domain-specific code generators like the late, great Pieter Hintjens.) That is, we chose to keep writing precise, unambiguous code, but found a better way to kill boilerplate.
