BABLR is just the extensible streaming parser framework, but it has a few key things going for it:
1. Gap support like Hazel has, but for any language it can parse
2. Streaming parse results, which make multi-pass stream transformation easy
3. The ability to consolidate and take over the work currently done by Treesitter, LSP, Git, and the IDE itself.
- lukan 4mo agoSo bablr is from you? "BABLR is a parser framework roughly comparable to Tree-sitter, but built from the ground up for the web" I have to admit, I don't know why I would stop using my wasm build of treesitter that works amazing on the web for something that is "conditionally production ready". Also I don't see where your project mixed visual and textual code like this paper here explores?
- conartist6 4mo agoYeah it's by me. It isn't the purpose of the project to be able to make visual widgets, just an ability that arises naturally when your state layer holds both structure and text.
- IshKebab 4mo agoThat does not look like a visual programming language?
- conartist6 4mo agoIt isn't! It's a version control system and IDE state layer that can make EVERY programming language visual at the same time
- IshKebab 4mo agoSo, where is this commercially viable visual programming language you claimed exists?
- conartist6 4mo agoYou are bringing the idea that a specific programming language must be made to do visual programming, not me. That is the opposite of what I think!! If your solution to global problems is for everyone in the world to adopt Hybrid Clojure Script as their programming language, you don't really have an economically viable solution.
- IshKebab 4mo agoYour original comment was: > I think they may fall over in surprise when they realize that this technology become commercially viable while they were busy writing this academic paper... "this technology" is an actual concrete language that mixes text and graphics. Not a version control system or an extensible parser framework or whatever it is that you have. Maybe one day you will build an actual language that mixes text and graphics but unless you can show me a screenshot of that it seems like a dick move to say that they've wasted their time because you've already got a commercially viable version, when actually you haven't at all.

- conartist6 4mo agoI certainly invite people to disrespect me for superficial reasons, and that is on purpose. The people who actually judge me on my merit I find to be much more worth my time.
