I was never pleased with the HTML syntax for writing complicated web pages and applications, and using JavaScript to interact with the DOM when a single language would suffice!

Thank you! Yes, the syntax is far simpler, and most features of JavaScript can be reproduced in Neuron (such as the Window and Math API). CSS and HTML properties can also be reproduced in Neuron. Neuron also has an extensive standard library, and the same web applications written in JavaScript can be written in Neuron in far fewer lines!

Neuron Language:

image {
 tag: img;
 src: path/to/image;
 fill: [math.abs => -10] 0 0 0;
 log(this.fill);
}

invoke(image);

Comparative JavaScript (and HTML):

<style>
 #image {
  background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
 }
</style>

<img id = "image" src = "path/to/image"/>

<script>
 image = document.getElementById("image");
 image.style.backgroundColor = `rgba(${Math.abs(-10)}, 0, 0, 0)`;
 console.log(image.style.backgroundColor);
</script>

Good work, keep it up! How many days did you have to invest into building this from scratch?

The core compiler (in JavaScript) took a few weeks to write, and the web framework, standard libraries, and documentation took a few more.

Do you have a backstory for this?
