seriously, it shouldn't be so hard to write a parser that compiles your favorite text format to TVG, or even to the lispy text format.

- shatteredgate 5y agoIMO that defeats the purpose of using this format if you have to write things to compile to it. If you do that you might as well just compile to the binary format since you won't be editing your canonical representation anyway. I'd imagine with image formats you'd want to pick a format that is the easiest possible thing to parse and consume while not harming it's "editableness" and I don't think S-expressions fit that bill.
- dnautics 5y agoTvg is a binary format? It's not really human readable. Compiling to it is a natural thing to be doing.
