Yes, I think that we can do better than plain text as the source of truth, and thus git would probably need to change.

There's work around a bunch of languages that are not based on text, some have their own editor or a tool to manage a canonical representation in text for you that would make them friendlier to git.

There's many more akin projects listed in https://github.com/yairchu/awesome-structure-editors/blob/ma...

I can't wait fast enough for these ideas to reshape how we deal with programs and build stuff.

Haskell seems to be pretty big. For example in this list of projects it appears to be the second most popular language (after TypeScript) :)

It would be interesting to have such a general project go somewhere.

While in principle structural editing sounds like an incredible advance, there are 'good enough' advantages to plain-text tools that make it a much more practical solution. The other issue is of course integration with existing tooling, which you either skip entirely or compromise on the design.

What I feel is missing, between the description of "old, bad state of things" and "utopian vision" is a review of some of the projects that already tried to achieve this ideal state. It turns out there are a number of them, and most of them failed to achieve any traction or impact [0].

The rants are very long, so I skimmed quickly the one about git; I understand the complaints, although git is only bringing me joy and no pain --interactive rebase, absorb and a few aliases made it a breeze. But in a similar fashion there are projects trying to solve its fundamental issues, like pijul(.org); what are they missing?

Some good ones pops up in Projectional Programming [1] once in a while. The pinned thread links to the structure-editors github list [2] too.

Lisperanto - in-browser AST editor with instant evaluation and code on canvas https://uprun.github.io/lisperanto/

hi, I am developing this project https://uprun.github.io/lisperanto/ and I hope that it will become how programms are written in the future, or at least some programms

hello, I am working on an in-browser programming environment, try to re-discover computing principles, you can check the live version here: https://uprun.github.io/lisperanto/

hi, my project is still in the development phase, but you can already try it online https://uprun.github.io/lisperanto/ my initial idea was to create just an in-browser IDE, but for sure I want to create a product out of it and serverless is a great opportunity for me.

by the way this is an open-source project you can follow updated here: https://github.com/uprun/lisperanto
