To be honest, this project is going the wrong direction.

Rather than trying to get programming languages to look like human language, we need to get human language closer to computer language.

By this I mean that every argument I've ever been in has turned out to either be an intrinsic disagreement about definitions (fixable, and usually we agree) or an intrinsic argument about god (probably not fixable, we will probably not agree).

If the average person understood the beauty of a solid (and unambiguous) definition, I dunno, world peace and rainbows and butterflies? Probably not, but I'd definitely not have to rage-quit socializing so often.

Still, with that said, from a purely intellectual curiosity standpoint this is neat. I hope that the general saltiness of the internet doesn't discourage the devs from working on this some more.
