Seems to be enforcing ‘ubiquitous language’ at the machine level - not some kind of mathematical dual where one is invertible to the other - but enforcing soft skills as hard skills.
‘protobuf specs dont have enough information for us to codegen iceberg tables so we will write a new codegen spec language’
what makes a duck a duck? when we know which tables we can find it in
Except that "Ubiquitous Language" is supposed to refer to terminology within a specific Bounded Context. In DDD it is desirable and expected that there is a mapping between them. This proposal tries to entirely erase Bounded Contexts. This is what I mean about people not understanding the words.
So in the sense of "what do we do about terminology not matching across an organisation" this and DDD are literal opposite solutions: one says "erase differences with a central definition (and bear the coordination costs)" while the other says "encourage differences with local definitions (and bear the mapping costs)".
