…I'm not sure why you think that. After all, I've dedicated roughly 1 A4 page (if you were to print it) to the parser compared to 18 pages for the motivational examples, detailing the semantics of each one. Generally you want to focus on the *why* and *how* those features will help me. Some great examples of this include "light table - a new IDE" link to this video "ideas for a new programming language" by Jonathan Blow (on his JAI language) link to this video Both of these walk me through the problem space and how the presented solutions can be used. They feel need driven rather than feature driven. Reading through your stuff seemed more like a list of tools, without any clues as to why I should use any part…

Some great examples of this include "light table - a new IDE" [video "ideas for a new programming language" by Jonathan Blow (on his JAI language) [video Light Table was one of the campaigns I studied before creating my own. It doesn't focus on *why* nor *how.* Instead it *demonstrates* 3 features (namely instant documentation, live evaluation of constant expressions and function editors vs file editors).…
