making fun of code formatter people by creating a word processor where you just type in words and the software (using AI or whatever) automatically adds all the punctuation and paragraph breaks where *it* thinks is appropriate

@omar bring the salty vibes of the 19th century back omar https://languagehat.com/peper-and-solt/

@omar wait this is such a good idea

@eieio i think it was Montaigne or somebody like that back in the day where he wrote only text & the publisher would choose where to put the punctuation and whitespace

I guess not that different from how we still deal with figures now, they're kind of a typesetting concern instead of a textual concern (this is one of the things that annoys me about LaTeX, that they hold to that)
