That’s seems like a genious remark actually. If you store the abstract objects and have the mechanism to transform to whatever the desired output form is, it’s almost trivial to expose a version as files and text rendering for tools that are thus oriented, isn’t it?

Originally my fathers idea from back in the 90s to create a language with a whole suite of syntactic representations to suit your preferences.

Want it to look like C? Lisp? Pascal? Why not!
