Yes, and surprisingly there are not too many that use any indentation based syntax (about 1 in 50). However, of the ones that do (abc, aldor, boo, buddyscript, cobra, coffeescript, csl, curry, elixir, f-sharp, genie, haml, haskell, inform, iswim, literate-coffeescript, livescript, madcap-vi, madcap, makefile, markdown, miranda, nemerle, net-format, nim, occam, org, promal, python, restructuredtext, sass, scss, spin, stylus, xl-programming-language, yaml) there are some real gems.

- lambda 5y agoCool! Thanks for some more reading and inspiration. Here's what I have in my notes buffer; I hadn't gotten much further than this. Ssn: /([0-9]{9})|([0-9]{3})-([0-9]{2})-([0-9]{4})/\1\2\3/ People: Table first: String last: String dob: Date ssn: SSN Csv headings: True load people.csv as: People select first last dob filter dob.age > 21 Well, I had some discussion, alternate forms of the syntax, links to prior art, etc, but not much else worth sharing. Will have to add your TreeNotation and Ohayo to that list, as well as these other links you've shared.
- breck 5y agoVery nice! The nice thing about these kinds of notations is that they last. Simplicity is timeless. I can immediately grok exactly what you are doing here. :)
