- Praise: The EYG structure editor is a game-changer, preventing syntactically invalid code and making it easier for non-developers to engage with programming.
- Praise: There's excitement around EYG's potential to simplify programming concepts, making them more approachable for people who aren't engineers.
- Praise: Commenters are intrigued by EYG's design, especially the idea of creating a language that can be intuitive with the right syntax and documentation.
- Concern: Skeptics warn that creating a programming language for non-developers is a doomed endeavor, as history shows that professional developers are still needed to fill in the gaps.
- Concern: Some argue that functional programming paradigms may be too complex for the average user, questioning whether EYG can truly democratize programming.
- Concern: Critics point out that despite the lofty goals, the real-world utility of such languages often falls short, lacking necessary abstractions and flexibility.
