Thanks Robin! Just played with Lamdu. Really neat! Thanks for the link.

I only fear that without the tight feedback loop of compiler diagnostics, the data recorded by humans would get too free-form to be interpretable by machines later.

This is a good question. We will see! Currently running experiments in the field. The good news is you can teach someone this "language" very quickly, since there are only a few rules. In the future, you could imagine a world with lots of innovative examples for providing "compiler feedback" IRL, perhaps through specially printed paper, or via projections or real time OCR, etc.

I would love OCR and projections.
