stuff without looking up new new syntaxes\n- Basic power might be to make it cheaper to specify rare weights without needing to add a lot to the syntax\n-

Maybe look at Procjam next year: https://www.procjam.com/\n- https://github.com/ForrestWeiswolf/Meristem\n - Supports weights + frozen weights\n- Rant.js: https://github.com/robbestad/Rantjs\n -
