I think a lot of young hackers just don't have the breadth of experience to know what has come before them, or what is in common use. OP has reinvented synthesis, but poorly.

And if you want to go there (which you did), older hackers have too much experience and are therefore set in their ways and are incapable of innovation.

“Go there”? This isn’t a battle. Both can be true. But experience is a fact.

Not even quite synthesis yet! We're well aware there's quite a lot out there that's fairly analogous - but nothing that's quite translated to the space, despite a few efforts as pointed out above.

There's a few parts we think that are behind that, but one is similar to python's/Guido's "code is read more than it's written", so we're attempting to address that!
