I think the syntax explicitly won’t get standardised - but the places where syntax can be put will be (e.g. after a :
following a variable, before the =
). With, yes, the goal of eliminating the build step, but the type checker (which really is just a linter at this point) would still be able to define their own specific syntax. I don’t think it could work any other way either, anyway.
llamafile also builds on that work, I believe (she’s the main contributor): https://github.com/Mozilla-Ocho/llamafile
