I mean programming is already ASCII art. That's why we indent as opposed to directly writing minified JS and why { and } are mirrors of each other. Self-limiting beliefs like those expressed in the comment you are responding to are more a function of what timespan the author was born in than anything else.
- ilaksh 9y agoIts not my belief. I am trying to explain the false psychological hangup that is preventing us from accepting non-textual programming environments like projectional editors. No one ever agrees with me or admits it. Thats how I know I am right after seeing dozens of amazing tools over the years and this discussion repeated over and over.
