Shameless plug for my hybrid visual/text pl, Pickcode, which matches what you're talking about

I really really want this decades old idea to take off. We should have grammar files in .. json is fine (have to start somewhere), and have spec for editor implementor to spread it across platforms. Ideally languages creators only have to customize "view" to decide how their lang would look like. Probably configure keymaps if they think their lang can be developed fast with certain keystroke (akin to emacs but more friendly because medium is not text anymore)
Whats Pickcode made for? Web programming?
MBScript looks great and I’d love to talk about your learnings from it. My contact is on the pickcode.io landing page if you want to chat!
