Re:Spatial languages: Writing code in 2D on Saturday July 25, 2026 @12:00PM (#49048736)
1D languages encode these relations grammatically. There is no reason why a 2D language couldn't also be grammatical. Sure it is harder to write a 2D parser perhaps, but people have still played with the idea a little bit. There is just no huge economic incentive to do so other than simple aesthetics.

I'm a backend developer with a little bit of a lot of things from compiler internals up to web development without frameworks. React/Angular is too far frontend past my experience but I'm open to learning as needed. I wrote a book about Functional Programming in Rust that was fairly well received.

"could break the guarantees" is a weak guarantee then.

Working on verifiable correctness for programs written in LM or anything that generates annotated assembly. Basically low-level proofs that accessed memory is valid and live or that function pre/post-conditions are met.

The goal is that these proofs are compiler agnostic, so more people can use them.
