LaTeX, for better or for worse, is what mathematicians, physicists, etc. use to write research articles. That is the community I am addressing. The app at knode.io will also handle Asciidoc and Markdown, by the way. But that is for a different audience.
I'd personally like to see more LaTeX-inspired programming languages. It's no fun reading chebyshev's inequality by writing out every function name... even worse when it's a pass by reference language so every function need to have an output argument to avoid memory allocation.
I may look into this down the road, now that I know how to make a parser. But I'll be occupied getting this off the ground for a good while. Thanks for the feedback!
One thing one has to take into account, however, is human behavior. Essentially all mathematicians use & know LaTeX. It is like a second language to them. Getting busy people to adopt something different is very difficult. They would have to see a huge benefit, and even then, I think it would be a lift. Example: QWERTY vs Dvorak. We'll see!!

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
Thanks so much!

That's a good reason :-)

Maybe this will help in that respect.
