I’ve made something quite similar, with a friendly hashtag syntax, that live updates into React PropTypes, Mongoose, Swift, Elm, Golang and more — https://schema.lofi.design/

Planning on adding TypeScript soon, and may do JSONSchema too!

It’s written in Elm, whose strict compiler really helps with avoiding bugs. https://github.com/RoyalIcing/lofi-schema-elm

Nice. Being able to consume JSON Schema would be really handy since there are other tools to consume plain JSON and emit JSON Schema.

I'm considering taking a crack at a Julia output module for your project. Those output adapters look pretty straightforward.

Oh that would be great! Glad to hear it looks straight forward.

Ok will consider JSON Schema support. Thanks!

Lofi looks cool! Is the advantage over the more broadly used Protobuf or JSONSchema just the leaner syntax?

Yes, I’m trying to make something very user friendly, something that designers and product managers and junior developers could use with ease. I plan on adding a validator so that any mistakes are caught.
