First off, I'm crossing my fingers it was actually a drunk Jeff Bezos who posted this :D

I hit on a new general scheme for structuring programming tools and languages that doesn't use parsing, and I'd love to try building a language and editor on it. I've seen other people working on these syntax-free, no parsing schemes, but I've yet to see one whose fundamental structure is simple enough to be captured by a simple diagram, or just a few sentences; and that's what I'm lookin' at here, which leaves me endlessly curious about the potential significance of this thing (including the potential for its significance to be nothing!)—but I haven't had a chance yet to give it a real test.

So if I had the resources I'd do a bunch of iterations on it—likely with ~10 teams working on parallel iterations if I had 100 people. Actually, I'd start with just one team of 10 working on it, and if it continued looking promising after the first iteration, and add more teams in proportion to the perceived promise. Meanwhile, I've got plenty other (over)ambitious projects I'd like to have help with :)
