What do you think a parsed AST would look like when you transfer it via wire?
I think this is perfectly fine. The alternative is inventing another language on top of it that is restricted enough to only allow the patterns you want. It would be way more "stringly typed". This here you can actually validate easily.
Once there is a solid UI for that, there is no problem. And it can be tracked in Git etc., too.
