    It's mostly the lack of nesting that convinced me not to use xit and to make my own format: http://richardmavis.info/does-the-world-really-need-another-... And I'm curious about nesting being "pretty difficult to implement in tooling"---how do you mean? At least with emacs I found it no more difficult than counting whitespace characters: https://git.sr.ht/~rfm/tdtd-mode/tree/master/item/readme.md

    Thanks for sharing this link. I've written a few simple art-making Javascripts as well ( http://richardmavis.info/squares , http://richardmavis.info/circles , http://richardmavis.info/stars , http://richardmavis.info/snow , http://richardmavis.info/malevich , http://richardmavis.info/whale-shark-skin ) but am definitely interested in other techniques.
