We don't need two different languages for this.
- dozzie 12y agoOh, yes, we do. We need a language targeted at humans that is machines can process and we need a language targeted at machine processing that is inspectable by humans. Those are two contradicting targets: the latter calls for simplicity, but the former calls for shortcuts[#] to make human's work easier, which adds, not reduces, complexity. [#] Shortcuts like not quoting keys and omitting braces and commas in hash definition.
