Design Philosophy

Lama2 takes inspiration from Markdown. Think of our approach as Markdown for APIs.

In particular, we strive to:

1. Delegate subtasks to mature and preferably open tools:
   1. API Collaboration - git
   2. API Organization - OS file manager + IDEs
   3. API Editing - VSCode/IDEs
   4. API Requests - HTTPie (httpie-go, to be specific)
   5. Request Chaining - Embedded Javascript
2. Adhere to a continuous language formalization effort from the beginning (learning from Markdown history)
3. Keep language syntax simple; don't sacrifice readability for tiny functionality gains.
4. Invest into good documentation; however, ensure users can perform competently without referencing documentation as much as possible.
5. Keep components decoupled
