Absolutely. But if it's an uncommon use case then I'm less concerned about what y'all choose. Unfortunately, Alan's response suggests I'd end up seeing SPLIT between symbols a lot if sweetexprs take off :/ I don't think there's a way to resolve this. Both our styles are internally consistent, but mutually contradictory. (I tend to use dense lines more often than him.) And we're two points on a spectrum that's wider and more well-populated throughout than I realized, even among experienced lispers. I understand now why we need to introduce GROUP, SPLIT, etc. But they're as alien to lisp noobs as parens and prefix. So why bother with sweetexprs? Parens/infix + GROUP/SPLIT seems strictly more cognitive load than just parens/infix. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
