Tree Notation: an antifragile program notation

This paper is written for programmers around the world. hope by freely sharing a powerful new discovery, we might inspire you, dear programmer, to create new tools and languages, so that we all may experience a quantum leap in programming productivity. We include a Visual Abstract to succinctly display the problem and discovery. Then we describe the problem--the abstract syntax tree (AST)--and introduce the novel solution we discovered: a new family of 2D programming languages that align source code with geometric trees and remove the AST. Then we make some predictions and conclude with a plea to steal this idea.
