Literally the first example on the main page declared as code.py would result in an indentation error :)

I'm gonna be honest here, I opened this website excited thinking this was a sort of new paradigm or programming language, and I ended up extremely confused at what this actually is and I still don't understand.

Is it a code generator tool from specs? Ugh. Why not push for the development of the protocol itself then?

One requirement for a programming language to be “good” is that doing this, with sufficient specificity to get all the behavior you want, will be more verbose than the code itself.

A formal way for a senior to tell AI (clueless junior) to do a senior's job? Once again, who checks and fixes the output code?

Of course an expert would throw it out and design/write it properly so they know it works.

I read through the thing and don't quite understand what this adds that the dozens of LLM coding wrappers don't already do.

You write a markdown spec.

The script takes it and feeds it to an LLM API.

The API generates code.

Okay? Where is this "next-generation programming language" they talk about?

So, instead of making LLMs smarter let’s make everything abstract again? Because everyone wants to learn another tool? Or is this supposed to be something I tell Claude, “Hey make some code to make some code!” I’m struggling to see the benefit of this vs. just telling Claude to save its plan for re-use.

When we understand that AI allows the spec to be in English (or any natural language), we might stop attempting to build "structured english" for spec.

This raises a question --- how well do LLMs understand Loglan?

Or Lojban?
