I don't believe this. If the parens were the problem, then why didn't M-expressions gain popularity? Why didn't CGOL? Why didn't Dylan? Why hasn't *any* alternative syntax helped? (Honu, anyone?) And why aren't parens a problem in C: if (unlikely(!access_ok(VERIFY_READ, iocbpp, (nr*sizeof(*iocbpp))))) return -EFAULT; or Java? private static void defCategory(String name, final int typeMask) { map.put(name, new CharPropertyFactory() { CharProperty make() { return new Category(typeMask);}}); } -- ~jrm _________________________________________________ For list-related administrative tasks: http://lists.racket-lang.org/listinfo/dev
