> But a key thing we're pushing, that's never been pushed before, is that the parens are worse than useless--they are harmful! They prevent easier program concatenation and ad hoc parser writing. And they make program synthesis, visual programming, and code analysis ~10x harder, for next to no gain.
Almost everything you've said above is not just untrue, but the opposite of the truth. As such, your statements require supporting evidence. Please cite some.
And who, by the way, is "we"?
- breck 7y agoThere is a lot of evidence in the GitHub. See JTree library and the ohayo data vis tool. There is also a big open source release coming soon—the largest database of programming languages and features in the world by a factor of at least 10x, more like 100x. Over 10k languages, over 1k columns. We is the Tree Notation Lab. Will be announcing what that is and the funding for it later this month.
