- ofalkaed 3y agoI think Queinnec is either big on literature or he was writing at a time before prescription and style guides took over academia in France (has it?). Looking at his website he makes no mention of literature or anything related beyond language general, but he does use the comma to for elaboration and context, not just to delimit inline lists. Looking at Lisp In Small Pieces I can't help but notice a strong resemblance to Henry James and wonder if his passion for language extends beyond programming. I also notice some parallels between his language use with lisp itself, but I am no where near good enough with lisp to be certain, his book is still well beyond me but I do enjoy it and the challenge it presents.
