It’s close, but not quite the same, from a cursory read. Thanks for sharing though.
To respond to the original post, I don’t think something rigidly formal would work out given how many wildly different opinions are out there - thinking out loud, but perhaps something underlying similar to clojures meta information would enable other approaches. The data contained in jsdoc comments is similar... from a certain perspective. Annotations as first class data would let users come up with solutions without parsing comment bodies, and let that data break out of the walled gardens. I don’t know what the syntax would look like, and still be backward compatible, which is where comments are a clear winner. > On 17.
