Thanks for sharing this! The idea of removing text from programming languages is really interesting, especially for making coding more accessible to people with different language backgrounds.

The paper you linked explores text-free programming through visual programming tools, which is one possible solution. But what do you think about making existing text-based languages, like Python or JavaScript, script-agnostic instead of moving entirely to visual coding?

Would love to hear your thoughts on whether a hybrid approach — where code can be written in any script but still remains text-based — could work.
