#Lisp with less brackets - but with the full power of !gnu #guile → http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9sFTOKa-cg — needs some work for !emacs

@arnebab To me it is an awful solution to a non-existent problem. If one likes python or haskell, you already have that choice.
-
@barryfm: Lisp has other qualities besides the parentheses. I love python, but lisp is complete: list→variable→function→macro→list
-
@arnebab Lisp is also homoiconic, and things like (+ x y) vs +(x y) vs { x + y }, to me, adds clutter and interferes with code refactoring
-
@barryfm that’s a problem with any kind of change. What I like most is that it stays lisp underneath (though I’d prefer it to be simpler).
-
@barryfm to me it would suffice to have indentation for brackets. But it seems I don’t get that…
-
Actually I now think, you’re right with different representations: I want less brackets, but not (+ x y) and +(x y) and {x + y} and + x y
-
@arnebab I would rather have !lisp displayable in one's chosen syntax that have them mixed up in one language parser.
-
I was hoping this was going to use tree diagrams. THAT would be both keeping the power and clearing the clutter of !lisp s-expressions
