@Kartik Agaram making a Tree Language for the mu machine would be neat 🙂

@karki The first space on the line, if it is an increase of the indent level on the previous line, is referred to as the "X Increment (as in, it increments the x value for the location of the word on a 2D plane)....technically you can change XI to anything you want (along with YI and ZI), but space is the convention

@Edward de Jong / Beads Project very interesting language! I like the clock example. I previously thought that we would have great general purpose Tree Languages by 2018, but the path to get there has turned out slightly different than I anticipated. basically, the tooling needs to advance ahead of the languages, otherwise the languages aren't a joy to use and the designers make subpar decisions on the language because of the poor tooling. So I would not tackle Beads head on today. We still need to keep tacking toward that direction. I bet in 2020 we'll start to see the first good general purpose languages (unless someone out there is quietly building a good one that I'm not aware of )

oh boy looks like I put things in the wrong thread. sorry! still learning slack
