Wow. This looks really cool. Is there a sort of design defense on how this was designed (tree notation)?

  Not sure if I’m familiar with the term “design defense”. Can you explain? Stumbled into the idea. Basically just brute forced it. Tried thousands of things, built a huge database of languages, and tried to keep it simple.

    I take the idea of “design defense” from Pyramid (Python Web Framework) [0], and have incorporated it into documentation on my projects. Basically, it’s a narrative discussion of how this solution came to be, the trade offs involved, and perhaps its relationships with prior art.

      Very cool. Thank you. Seems like it would be a useful exercise. Added to the todo list.

      Do you know if this is called something else? (perhaps in other disciplines) Googling "Design defen{c,s}e" just got me a whole lot of military contractors.
