The plan for substratum is/was to create a programming language based on the web. That is the “syntax” is just HTML, compilation is performed by transforming that HTML to an AST and from there to executable code.

By having the syntax in HTML it is possible to do more GUI:ish API designs such that a module of code can contain graphics, tables and whatever else makes sense for the problem domain to leverage for it’s formalization in a humane way.

lilyapp seems to have create a lot of the infrastructure needed for this project. Lets steal some code from there.
