It seems to fix all the problems I had with Markdown (the unnecessary complexity and ambiguity) and a ton of other problems I had no idea about, looks pretty good.

I think I read somewhere that his Djot parser is 8x faster than his Markdown parser.

Is it geographically neutral like markdown?

Is it automatically compatible with a large percentage of wikipedia articles like wikitext?

Is there some other advantage you pretend would make up for the flaw of missing both points above?

Yes, it is "geographically neutral", I don't know why you're so attached to this.

No, nothing is compatible with Wikipedia articles, not even Wikipedia itself. Wikitext is not a standard, it's not a format, it's a language, wikitext is hell. The only way to parse Wikipedia articles "correctly" is by using the same parser they use which is some cursed mix of JavaScript and PHP.

After reading more, I don't see how djot isn't a markdown flavor

It seems like it should work fine for me
