The implementation they have (which they call a "demo") reimplements the entire reader from scratch. There are several problems with this, the worst of which is that it strongly discourages anyone from using the syntax in code that they'd like to deploy. You can't simply publish a module with '#!curly-infix' at the top and have people use it. You have to ask them to install the sweet-expressions implementation first, and then ask them to somehow arrange for your code to be read using the special reader. > And there as also this preliminary patch: > > http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-devel/2012-03/msg00129.html > > What about applying first, then one above, then anything beyond? With respect to nalaginrut, that patch was only the beginning, and was never turned into a full implementation. I have a fully-functional patch that implements the full spec, complete with documentation, test suite, and everything needed to enable people to easily use and deploy curly-infix in their programs.
