Isn't syntax pretty much just compression? We could write down the AST itself in some generic notation but that would be orders of magnitudes larger, so invent clever tricks to compress it, which we call syntax.

Edit: typo

Exactly my thoughts.

I’d love to have this for phone calls and sms as well. If you didn’t spam me, I’ll refund.

In my book, asking for a tip is called begging. A tip is voluntary.

Would you elaborate why?

Oh lol I love that angle!

I think it's a great demo, it is interesting how harsh the feedback is that you are getting. You are probably just too late to the party.

I also work in this space and the road ahead gets exponentially harder, unfortunately.

Is it just me? No conclusion, no takeaway, nothing.

Thanks for this comment, I'm glad it's not only me. I came back feeling like, I enjoyed the article and it was a waste of time. Classic advice, where its only use is passing it on.

Maybe if you are copy-pasting some html templates, but then it is not “writing code”. Handwriting complex logic, at 5k sloc per day, no way.

That exists, it is called a nominal type system, while in your example the language has a structural type system.

Edit: Assuming your example is even statically typed.
