Over the years I have loved Racket ... except for those parens ... if
only. I don't know when it happened but one day parens and I made a peace
treaty, mind melded, became enlightened or just got tired of fighting, but
right now I can't see a Racket without parens (s-exps). I have, in fact,

I care a lot about Racket — the technology, but especially the human community
that makes it possible.

Hi everyone,
Recent threads have reminded me I never properly announced "#lang
something", an experiment from back in 2016.
The main idea is S-expressions, but with usually-implicit parentheses
and support for prefix/infix/postfix operators. Indentation for grouping
is explicitly represented in

N years, anyway. 5 years seems like too long for a plan, although fine
as an actuality. I'd aim for 2 years and try to believe that, so maybe
it could actually happen in 3-4
Maybe because get-extent in the super class vaches some information and
that cache doesn't get maintained if you override the method.

it, and let `image-snip%` handle the method.
The `copy` method is not used in this case.
Also, in your `on-char` and `on-event` methods, you
