    The theme hasn't been released yet, but since everything compiles to assembly eventually, I'm already planning on building a new macro assembly. I have ~2 months in a ~15 year career doing assembly, so it's way outside my sweet spot. However, I think I have a unique perspective, where I'm approaching all languages now as ones that can be edited in a spreadsheet GUI (as well as plain text editors and IDEs). If you want to see a (crappy—my video production skills need work) demo of what I mean, one is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0l2QWH-iV3k

    I've done some Googling around, and found this thread on HN where apparently Sony was encouraging devs to use spreadsheets to write better assembly for the PS3: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12294685

    Was wondering if anyone out there has experience with things like this, and could share some more leads?

    Also, if you like PL design check out https://github.com/langjam/langjam! I'm excited for it.
