That might be pseudo-code, but Dylan has a similar syntax, like Lisp without the explicit S-expressions.

- eatonphil 12y agoIt seemed a little unfair to be talking about such beautiful and extensible syntax without including the parentheses. But I am unfamiliar with Dylan.
- mbrock 12y agoWell, typing parens in a HTML textbox can be pretty tedious, so I understand the desire for pseudocode. Dylan has an interesting hygienic macro system that's similar to Scheme's. I don't think Dylan allows for arbitrary code-generating macro procedures, but it's possible in principle; see [1].
