I don't know man, I like those parens. They turn basically any text editor into a basic structural editor. Commands like Vim's % can jump to the matching paren easily, and pretty much all programmer text editors have a feature to highlight the matching paren.
So to me it's not a matter of subjective taste but rather pragmatism. S-expressions are just easier to edit.
- breck 7y agoI totally agree that in the world without tools designed for Tree Notation, stick with the parens. But I also think the world without parens will be a much better place, once we get there with the tooling and ecosystem. I don't know how long that will take. 2020 I hope?
