More compact syntax?

[devurandom]

It seems that Venia is overly verbose. I would e.g. suggest following more concise forms:

{:name [:Int 1]}
; instead of:
{:variable/name "name"
 :variable/type :Int
 :variable/default 1}

{:name :Int}
; instead of:
{:variable/name "name"
 :variable/type :Int}

{:alias [...]}
; instead of:
{:query/data [...]
 :query/alias :alias}

The context (e.g. :venia/variables or :venia/queries) should be able to explain to the reader the meaning of this syntax.
