> "From a community perspective, the rub is that the "many people" for Racket syntax is a barrier are mostly people outside the community. It's fair to ask who would benefit. It's difficult to ask a community to tackle a problem whose solution targets a different community." Yeah no shit, alienating the 1% of the general population who uses your tool to appease to the 99% who don't currently use it might work sometimes, but you could just as easily lose that 1% and pick up jack shit, because the grassroots advocates for your language just evaporated. Dropping s-expressions from the primary lang would likely prove to be the kick in the ass I need to switch to CL. (Other proposals listed sound a lot better. This syntax matter is my one serious grievance here.) Edit: > "From what I've seen there is no advantage that editors can give you with parens, that they can't do better without parens, given that you've written loads of tests and done the grunt work to make that happen." This seems like one of those cases where lack of editor diversity among a lisp community once again threatens to cause trouble for anybody who doesn't use emacs (see also: terrible default REPL experiences because the devs all use racket-mode or geiser-mode.) What am I meant to replace the % command with when using vim or evil-mode? I don't want to do "loads of gruntwork", nor do I wish to rely on editor extensions for a matter that should be so straight forward. I want to press % and jump to the matching paren.
