I got an idea for a language where the code in the file format is some intermediary language, which you write with an editor plugin that makes it more human-readable.

The editor plugin (in contrast to existing language plugins) also translates the error msgs back to the human-readable code.

Just an idea, but I could not get it to fit in the questionaire :)
