To expand on this a little, here is a thing that you can't translate to most programming languages. By defining a simple, pattern-based macro we can get much closer to the Dart version: (func: hello() => (displayln "Hello world")) (hello) All you need to do this - to change the language syntax to look like that - is to write this: (define-syntax func: (syntax-rules (=>) [(_ name (formal ...) => expr ...) (define name (lambda (formal ...) expr ...))]))
