You're right, sorry. Most typos should be fixed now. I made the translation into English in a rush and didn't think of running it through a spellcheck beforehand. Thanks for reminding me!

As explained in the text: the point isn't that these problems aren't solved by blockchain, they're amplified. E.g.: scams existed without blockchain, but now they're forever and permanently engraved into the blockchain. Code was always flawed, but now a bug isn't just a bug, it's a bug in a smart contract with potentially disastrous consequences that can never be properly fixed.

Obviously, if you just reimplement SVG in JSON it's not going to get better, there would be far more to it. And I'm a big fan of strong schemas, it's the best part of XML.

Wow. I'm unsure whether I should be impressed or horrified. I've added the link to the article, thank you.

You're absolutely right, it is always a trade-off. I've added a paragraph at the end of my article focused on that particular problem to address that: https://www.eisfunke.com/article/language-design-machine-or-...

Author here, for editing SVGs by hand I use VSCode (or VS Codium to be precise) with the SVG Viewer add-on in split-screen: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=cssho.vs...

Works pretty well as split screen editor. The preview refreshes on save with ctrl-S.

Yes, but SVG is not good as a machine-focused format as well, that's kind of the point.
