Artyom Bologov<p>I still can't believe that most programming systems we use today are preoccupied with numbers. AFAIK, half of (R5RS?) <a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/Scheme" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Scheme</span></a> standard is numbers and operations on them. Same for <a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/C" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>C</span></a>, <a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/CommonLisp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CommonLisp</span></a>, <a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/Java" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Java</span></a>—ten different types of numbers and huge libraries for them.</p><p>Humans think in images and words. Structured text-oriented languages feel like a much better fit for everyone not corrupted by C. Yet we have little to no popular attempts in that space. Structured Regular Expressions didn't catch up; <a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/ed1" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ed1</span></a> and <a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/awk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>awk</span></a> are considered mere <a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/regex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>regex</span></a> automation tools. Modal and the term rewriting systems have their Merveilles Town, but not much beyond. sh/#bash and the like are quite successful, but aren't considered real programming languages either.</p><p>Why.</p><p><a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/theRant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>theRant</span></a></p>
