Interesting idea. In practice how do you isolate/integrate the generated code from/with the handcrafted one? Does it feel natural?

I'm also really curious about the rationale for the cobolish make a be b minus c. Cobol did that because it didn't aim to be used by programmers. How about Zolang?

Originally this language was created simply for creating a sharable model layer which can have some embedded logic, so originally I wanted to keep non-programmers in mind while designing this as the model layer is the most basic part of an application and very easy for a non-programmer to understand the concept of.

But you can do (a + (b - c) * d) in Zolang as well, the choice is yours
