&gt; New operators — !, &#x2F;&#x2F;, %%, =~, |&gt;, .new(), and more Reactive operators — :=, ~=, ~&gt; as language syntax<p>I my mind, this is such common mistake in language design. For people familiar with the language, adding just-one-more operator is very enticing: it&#x27;s succinct and avoids naming things. But do that a few times and the language becomes a cryptic mess where everything has a random !,*,#,$,# attached somewhere. Looking at you JavaScript and C++. It can get even worse when operators can be defined in userland like in Haskell. Props to Python for keeping it mostly at bay.

This is cool. I enjoy seeing these kinds of projects, thanks for sharing it and thanks for making it.<p>There has been so much innovation over the years around transpilers&#x2F;compilers to JS, it makes me wonder what a programming paradigm of à la carte first class language functionality could look like and how it might interoperate. A system in which I might grab Haskell type syntax, Clojure list comprehensions and JS arrow functions, all together, and all working just fine.<p>Probably want to break up files into more granular chunks, probably more like next gen polyglot notebooks beyond a cell per language and more like custom languages composed of features in any given cell.<p>The system could be made to translate between functionality based on editor preference. Like python list comprehensions? Read my Clojure comprehension in that syntax.<p>I know this would not perfectly map, as some language functionality is more powerful than others. Still interesting to think about.
