I have a project that uses free unparsed text with evaluated sexpressions mixed in. I understand that alot of people just dont like sexpressions...but otherwise is anyone really bothered by this style of allowing arbitrary junk at the top level?
- ljm 7y agoI think it’s fine, it’s like you’re saying that every expression is implicitly wrapped in a ‘()’ itself, so the syntax is redundant at the top level in a shell. Not sure I’d appreciate it outside of a shell.
- andrewchambers 7y agoYeah, the shell implicitly adds () in janetsh, but it doesn't do it for you when you are writing scripts.
