Why isn’t x’ either a reader error or an unfinished expression (like an unclosed paren where it allows a multi-line expression)?
I notice DrRacket treats it the 2nd way (which makes perfect sense to me) but the command-line repl and (read-eval-print-loop) both do the weird thing where it evaluates the x and saves the quote for the next expression. Is there a reason that they don’t all do what DrRacket does? On Jan 8, 2015, at 4:32 PM, Robby Findler <[email protected]> wrote: > Clearly proud. That's a helluva sequence.
