Well, I think they tend to focus on a particular language as a first step to reduce the scope.
I had to refactor a python codebase, and the same function was used in context managers, decorators, and functions.
Because of these disparate syntactical structures there was no way to refactor things easily or entirely de-duplicate some code. This is not an issue you would have with a Lisp.

Thank you, I was just looking at knowledge management solutions, and did not find anything really satisfying, so I was just building a small prototype for myself. I'll have a look at it iin more details!

I think you could alleviate it by providing some navigation allowing to skim more easily (I understand how much jank and sucking goes into editing large files so the comedic effect is a bit lost in the PTSD) or having more focus on achieving your vision. It's mostly editing.
But your writing doesn't have to appeal to everyone either, it's your choice.
By all means I wish you good luck and I'd like to check in on the project in one year or something.

Yeah, that's a way to do this, but if you start small, you will then later find yourself walled within your initial assumptions about what you really want. Oh, well.
