It would probably be smart to follow the syntax of some C-like language (C, Python, Perl, ...) since parsers are already there.
You just gave strong reasons why one should _not_ use a C-like syntax: You need to write a parser. You need to invent a new syntax that nobody understands (so "nobody knows lisp" is moot). A eval function to grok the packaging sexp would take a screen of lisp, and is trivial to write since we have Guile (our parser!) Please, lets stop discussing this. A sexp is the best solution. _______________________________________________ gnu-system-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-system-discuss
