So error, return, if, for, etc don't use parenthesis. Simple condition like single argument function application should use spaces? For the composition case, FYI, Haskell and Mathematica invent something like "$" infix operator: a $ b $ c $ x Equals to a(b(c(x))), In Fricas, I'd like to write "a b c x". They use this $ to avoid nesting parenthesis, I think. And I'm typing from a phone, I definitely prefer the space style. And like I said before, only use this space notation in one-argument function composition situation, for function composition involves more than 2 arguments, use parenthesis. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "FriCAS - computer algebra system" group.
