While I'm unsure about the efficacy of LLMs, I do yearn for language tooling that lets you 'Bring Your Own Syntax'. I'm someone who prefers TypeScript, Java, and Zig's syntax and genuinely, genuinely struggles with Go, Crystal, Kotlin's syntax. Whoever came up with := versus = needs to stub their toe at least once a day for the rest of time. But if I could write code for Go using a different syntax, I'd write way more Go code. I feel like that's what petlangs like Borgo (https://github.com/borgo-lang/borgo https://github.com/borgo-lang/borgo) and AGL (https://github.com/alaingilbert/agl https://github.com/alaingilbert/agl) are doing: making Go less goey.
