If you use paredit.el in Emacs, it would be absolutely trivial to write Arc'. Some Schemes are already sort of like that, because they allow you to use brackets as parentheses, and they require that closing brackets match opening brackets, and closing parentheses match open parentheses. It's not a problem at all.
- dfranke 19y agoI'm sharing PG's premise that languages shouldn't require such tools in order to write them effectively. Eclipse is not an excuse for Java.
- byrneseyeview 19y agoWould Eclipse be an excuse for Java if it were a language rather than an IDE, and if it compiled into Java?
- dfranke 19y agoSure, but then you're not working in Java any more. You're just using it as object code.
