Future of Coding

This morning I'm thinking about turning <https://futureofcoding.slack.com/archives/C03RR0W5DGC/p1719791347513999> into a visual notation for something we typically use keyword args for. For example, the following glyph might represent a function for initializing a text editor widget with the following signature:
```edit.initialize(top, left, right, bottom, font_size)```
And the numbers indicate a specific call to this function:
```edit.initialize(15, 15, 115, 215, 20)```

Interestingly, these alternative semantics would make for a more pleasing glyph.

```edit.initialize(margin-top, margin-left, margin-right, margin-bottom, font-size)```

Uh-oh, there I go again, obsessively circling questions of notation :joy: (<https://futureofcoding.slack.com/archives/C03RR0W5DGC/p1719858528607509?thread_ts=1719791347.513999&amp;cid=C03RR0W5DGC>)
