Idea: programming language called TODO. You write it in any programming language, and you add comments in that language's commenting scheme. Everything is ignored except comments that begin with TODO. Your TODO comments look like English text, but are actually structured code and are the only thing that gets executed.

<stdio.h>

int main(void) {
// TODO read the filename from the arguments.
printf("Hello world!\n");

// TODO delete the file with that filename.
}

const messageDiv = document.queryElements('-div');

// TODO make some kind of a while loop based on counting a variable by twos

const newMessage = document.createElement('span');
newMessage.append(document.createTextElement('Hello world'));

// TODO print something like "Michelle rulez" until the variable is greater than thirty or so.

messageDiv.appendChild(newMessage);

Yeah, the syntax should ignore words like "some kind of" and "about" and "or so". That's just to make you look less sure about what you're talking about in the TODO's.
