interesting!! is BABLR yours? is there a page that talks about your error-correcting/embedding-gaps approach? couldn't immediate find one in the docs. btw new version of tylr (hazel's core editing engine) is multi-language from the ground up, with a javascript grammar underway; new version is not yet online though

It is! Our approach to error correcting is not to error correct. We instead help the user be highly effective while passing through incomplete states but not invalid ones.

Gaps are present in the embedded code representation, e.g. if · is a gap we would represent the result of parsing `console.log(·)` using a "gap tag" (written `<//>`) in a CSTML document that will look like this: https://gist.github.com/conartist6/75dc969b685bbf69c9fa9800c...
