Hi, Nota creator here. A high-level comment:

After developing the initial prototype you see in the webpage, I've since gone back to the drawing board. I'm working on developing a firmer foundation for issues like:

- How do you interleave content and computation? See: https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.04368

- How do different syntaxes make different document tasks easy, hard, or impossible? See: https://github.com/cognitive-engineering-lab/doclang-benchma...

I still very much believe in the high-level philosophy, but Nota will look very different within ~6 months. In the meantime, the single coolest development in the document language space is Typst, which I encourage you to check out: https://typst.app/

Also: the next version of Nota will be written 99% in Rust :-)
