Using JSON Instead of STDOUT

Experiment Working Paper, Towards Higher Level Syntax for Programming Languages 2024-11-11

Revelation: I like to think in terms of UNIX pipelines. 0D[1] is like UNIX pipelines, but, 0D is more efficient and 0D allows many more input and output ports in software components. Using UNIX's `stdin`, `stdout` and `stderr` are not enough in the presence of multiple ports. It looks like JSON might fit the bill, though. I know from previous experience that SWIPL (a PROLOG) can cast its results to JSON[2]. I imagine that any modern programming language can produce JSON. I hope to poke at this idea of using JSON instead of using raw, unstructured text like `stdout` in hopes of creating a cheapo multi-language REPL.
