Apologies, I was agreeing with your macro on why I like "then" over "previous". I did not intend mine as a correction or challenge. My point on "in-sequence"

Apologies, I was agreeing with your macro on why I like "then" over "previous". I did not intend mine as a correction or challenge.
My point on "in-sequence" and such was more that the main complaint I ever hear regarding LOOP is that:
(loop for c across "hello"
collect c)
is not the same as
(loop for c in '(#\h #\e #\l #\l #\o)
collect c)
Specifically, "in" versus "across" seems to upset a lot of folks. I don't recall ever hearing too many complaints about the syntax not being more nested.
Again, though, looks neat and I'm excited to dive more into it.
- maydup-nem 5y agoOkay, gotcha. Yeah, I can see how having distinct keywords may be seen as inconvenient. I think if there were a general container-keyword that wouldn't introduce any cost based on a type declaration, that would be cool, but it's not something I have encountered a real need for.
