Maybe it would be interesting to a semi-graphical note-taking app for zettelkasten.

I'm on the "Goals" slide: "- Real-world programming language - Readable, scannable layout - No arbitrary symbols - No operator precedence rules - Fast navigation and editing" and they strangely rhyme with Lisp (Clojure?) and Smalltalk
