    It uses XML-like syntax:

    <fun>
      <name>sum</name>
      <in>
        <int>foo</int>
        <int>bar=0</int>
      </in>
      <out><int>foo+bar</int></out>
    </fun>

      I like it, this is clearly very enterprisey and solution focused, but I would like to suggest a couple of amendments if I may?

      • Namespaces We should make full use of namespaces. Make the structural tags be in a language specific namespace (to be referenced in every function spec, obviously) but change the in an out params to use the parameter name as the tag, namespaced to the function they’re for, with a type attribute.

      • In memory message queues Have all function invocations be marshaled as xml documents posted to an in memory message queue. Said documents should use a schema that validates the structure and a function specific schema to validate the types of arguments being passed. Namespace everything.

      I reckon we could power a medium sided country if we could generate energy from the programmers despair.

      Make sure to make ample use of mixed content elements.

      <statement><var>bar</var> = <int>0</int></statement>

      I took every coding class my highschool offered, and the only thing that drove me more crazy than this syntax was trying to use CSS.

      I almost did similar with SDLang as I was very desperate for a scripting language, but now I have a wasmtime API for D.

      That’s basically how the Android app Tasker works. You do the programming through its UI, but when you export/share your tasks, they’re saved as xml
