Thank you so much for this!

I didn't realize Swagger/OpenAPI had a way to auto-generate its specification. Your comment led me down the rabbit hole and helped me to find a few options that might do the trick.

I agree. Part of the motivation for this post is that I've been doing triage on a maimed branch that got incorrectly squashed.

That being said, the workflow for this project is unlikely to change. And, to be fair, the workflow has its benefits. The project history is very clean, PR code reviews are straightforward, etc.

There's some pretty clever tricks on that site that I wasn't familiar with. Much appreciated!

Something dead simple.

I want code that's easy to write and easy to read. No fancy tricks. No decorators, no hundred-character lines for a print statement, no manual memory management or custom operators. A child should be able to use it.

I want code that's easy to maintain and deploy. Never worry about language/tooling versions again. No gcc, no g++, no rbenv, no Maven, no venv/pipenv/poetry whatever.

My target audience is anyone that doesn't have a computer science degree. A language for accountants and office workers. For school teachers and twelve-year-olds.

Throw out the foobar tutorials and Tower of Hanoi logic puzzles.
