if they were truly represented by the same AST, I can't believe the differences between these "languages" would be anything more than swapping symbols out.

True. Perhaps "styles" or "syntaxes" would be better. It's all that stuff we spend time building consensus around, but that doesn't affect program behavior. If our tools respected our style preferences on a user-by-user basis, we could drop the consensus requirement altogether.
