Daily Note - 2025-05-05
Hey, I'm Hanno! These are my daily notes on Crosscut, the programming language I'm creating. If you have any questions, comments, or feedback, please get in touch!
I haven't fully worked out restricted structural editing yet. And for now, I won't. I need real-world feedback to make it truly good. But the system overall isn't ready for real-world use yet, so I can't get that feedback. What I need now, are quick and easy solutions that allow me to make progress, and that I can expand on later, once I have real-world feedback.
I'm trusting that once I run into limitations with the current approach to restricted structural editing, there will be solutions to make things work. That's the bet I'm taking with this. That these solutions are going to be available. That I'm not working myself into a dead end.
As always, I'm optimistic that things will work out. Otherwise I wouldn't be doing it. And as always, I might be wrong. I have been in the past! I'm just taking my best shot. If it doesn't land, I'll try something else.
