pipeline synthesis via domain-specific visual programming. obviously they're over-claiming ('generate any stable, isolable molecule') as chemists, but as a PL person this sounds great! if you're a constructivist getting into assembly theory, I think this was written for us
Linking this framework to assembly theory strengthens the definition of a molecule by demanding practical synthesizability and error correction becomes a prerequisite for universality.

Assembly theory is definitely worth a look, it's an interesting attempt at describing the complexification of chemistry over the history of our planet, ultimately leading to life. The authors also over-claim the virtues of assembly theory, but it remains interesting even if you don't buy into "we explain the origins of life".
