        @maxkreminski @hellagrapes yeah - though, "no code" is a helpful if somewhat inaccurate for a tool that's designed to be approachable for people who don't consider themselves coders.

      @maxkreminski @hellagrapes like, i decided to not add syntax highlighting in CBDQ because i thought it would scare away people who would see it and assume they needed to know how to code. but also it probably is coding, at least once it gets complicated.

    @maxkreminski @hellagrapes (now I'm wondering where Tracery sits on the Chomsky hierarchy... which is not really the point)

      @maxkreminski @hellagrapes not to be all "learn 2 code", but there's a sweet spot here for tools which claim to not involve writing code, get users to build increasingly elaborate mental models, and then, like Dumbo and the feather, reveal that it is in fact coding, and that they had the ability all along.
