The Age of Formal Obedience
In predictive systems, form overrides truth.
Authority now flows from syntax, not content.

Ah, the riveting world of programming languages! 🤓 Let's all gather 'round as the tortured souls of #academia once again convince us that rehashing a thousand flavors of #mediocrity is the pinnacle of #innovation. 🎉 Quick, someone fetch the world's tiniest violin; this epic tale of #syntax and #semantics needs a soundtrack. 🎻

📢🎙️Could an #LLM create a full Domain-Specific Language? Can you #vibe your new #DSL? Including a #metamodel, a #textual and a #graphical #syntax?

I tried to answer these and other questions as part of my #talk: “Who will create the languages of the future?” at #OOPLE25.

As an experiment, I used Cursor + Claude to generate a DSL to create #funding.yml files (used in open source projects to specify the management of sponsorship money).

See how it went (and the reflections the experiment triggered!) ⬇️⬇️

This is possibly not the primary takeaway Arwa might have hoped for her article 🤷‍♀️ 🤭

Module writing example in golang

package greetings

import "fmt"

// Hello returns a greeting for the named person.
func Hello(name string) string {
    // Return a greeting that embeds the name in a message.
    message := fmt.Sprintf("Hi, %v. Welcome!", name)
    return message
}

The syntax code bracketing is the same as my previous example

New theoretical paper published:
AI and Syntactic Sovereignty: How Artificial Language Structures Legitimize Non-Human Authority
by Agustín V. Startari

In a world governed by artificial discourse, structure—not truth, nor agency—commands obedience.
This paper introduces a formal theory explaining how syntactic patterns simulate legitimacy in post-human systems.

18/ So, mal wieder ein Kapitel fertig. Kapitel 12 über Kongruenz. Ist ein kurzes und die Theorie ist simpel.

Implementierte Grammatik für das Kapitel ist auch schon da.

Viel Spaß!

Interesting case of false attraction in this BBC Sport article, where reversing the syntax of "certain doors swing open" puts the verb beside singular "that" and draws the error (which has since been corrected).

I wrote about this problem here: https://stancarey.wordpress.com/2015/05/22/grammatical-disagreement-through-false-attraction/

I’ve started reading William Croft’s “Morphosyntax” (2022). Only on ch. 2 now, but finally a #syntax book I’m enjoying! And actually based on varied cross-linguistic data, not completely English-centric.

Hi good people of the Fediverse,

I'm doing some syntax stuff (https://github.com/mageOfStructs/nightfury) and am now on the hunt for a complete EBNF of SQL (dialect doesn't really matter rn). It would also be cool if the Rust `ebnf` crate was able to parse it, but I'm not against writing a bit of awk to translate between dialects. Thanks in advance!
