The streamed execution idea is novel to me. Not sure what’s it significance ? I have been working on something with a similar goal: https://github.com/livetemplate/tinkerdown

and I meant to say: tinkerdown looks pretty cool!

If you're still looking for a name let me suggest "hyper text". It embodies the whole idea of having data, code and presentation at the same place. If you're open for contributions I already have an idea for cascading styles system in mind.

Every turn of the wheel someone wants to make a new one. Maybe one day someone will invent a rounder wheel.

Personally I think we should move to heptagons, they're round enough. The wheel is what I would call, passé.

nah heptagons are passé; nowadays it’s all about nonagons. xD

If HTML happened again except this time it was markdown, maybe more non-nerds would be able to use it? XML just looks gnarly.

Problem with the markdown approach the text will become rapidly ugly with hacks, non-standard annotations to enable same features as HTML.

I disagree. Hexagons are the bestagons.
