The TeX syntax is too loose to do input that is close to the input. For example, in math, if properly parsed, the "{…}” can often be replaced by the normal “(…)”, and the the engine can decide to remove them when unnecessary, as in say e^(x+y).
asciimath tries to do that (is supported in context) but it has to be used very structured in order to not run into its weird aspects
I worked on a theorem proof assistant, which then checks that the math is correct, but it then turned out complicated to write TeX code.
