Introducing the HandAxe Collections Pattern Language
summary
Claims a concrete pattern language called HandAxe with a small grammar of grips, locators, qualifiers and verbs that can autogenerate methods on demand; shows a JavaScript implementation that uses a proxy-based lazy installation into the prototype chain and a templating system so a few dozen primitives compose many accessors and setters. Demonstrations include span/edge semantics, immutable-by-default setters that return modified copies, a live replace that succeeds, and the code base is about 85% complete with TypeScript port and docs planned.
