I like begin and end instead of the parens. Allman style ftw!. I've been thinking of something along the lines of an xml based notation for lisp. It's a shame

It's a shame lisp doesn't allow a simple text-based preprocessor.

- andyjpb 7y agoSomething similar to sxml? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SXML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SXML XML has attributes which S-exprs don't. This can be solved by convention (as SXML does) and doesn't really represent a difference in expressibility. S-exprs have quote and unquote which XML doesn't. This is a fundamental difference and makes it hard to convert Lisp code that mixes code and data representations.
