From some of the comments it feels like this is also intended as a way to research different ways of doing Lisp surface syntax without sacrificing the features of the macro system. I'm not sure if it's possible to do both at the same time.
- laughinghan 7y agoDid you miss the "How?" section of the post? He wrote a research paper showing it was possible in 2012, "Honu: Syntactic Extension for Algebraic Notation through Enforestation".
- anaphor 7y agoYes I read the paper, but he also makes it clear that there's still lots of work to do (e.g. how to make it work better with macros)
