IMHO the "text expression" does precisely the same as current use of scribble -> pigeonholing the syntax for one use: in the case of scribble it is "documentation" in the case of text - "text processing".
I actually find "at-exp" to be quite fitting but would keep using this form everywhere instead of "@-exp". Instead of deriving the name from the "@" symbol, explain it as deriving from "at" preposition. Why? - You can place the expression "AT ANY PLACE inside your text or code" - Expression is identified by the selected identifier "AT THE FRONT of the expression" -> default @ - With at-exp the function is "AT THE FRONT followed by brackets/braces" Ok maybe stretching it a bit but each to their own. Some alternatives: - M-expression (sic!) it even has plenty of similarities with meta-expression and in a way it is a meta syntax for s-expression - F-expression - fore-expression -> function before brackets - P-expression - pre(peri)-expression -> function before brackets Cheers Greg On Monday, September 26, 2016 at 3:40:13 PM UTC+2, Matthew Butterick wrote: > T as in "text": > > > @-form => T-form > @-expression = > T-expression (or t-exp in shorthand) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
