Fact: I've commented on fewer than 1% of HN posts today alone.

Fact: my post is very relevant to the OP and I'm offering to help them.

Fact: I've been a member of this site for over 12 years, and never comment on a post unless I think it adds value to the discussion or would be helper to the parent.




Fact: What you wrote was essentially a private, directed comment that should have been a private email, and added literally nothing to the discussion.


> should have been a private email

That's a good suggestion. I didn't think of that. But thinking about it, I guess I don't want to bother the OPs inbox. If they are interested, they can get in touch.

I disagree. When I post a new language, and someone shares a link to a related language, those are often the most valuable comments.

Validating, defining, using data: sound like things Tree Notation syntax is perfect for. Cue's semantics are great, and presentation and execution, I just think potentially a syntax switch is worth exploring. I understand the strategy to be able to parse JSON as cue, and that's probably the way to go for now, but in the future Tree Notation syntax might offer compelling advantages.


FWIW I think your post is very relevant.

I like the idea of a git based database. Please don't take a single person's opinion as that of the entire community.
