I started earlier 2002. my goal at the time was to make a scheme
system. later I decided to get more creative, and branched it off
into my own language effort, then more recently to try to tie it a
little closer to more clasical scheme...


I am half considering an alternate syntax (besides my last syntax).
basic idea is:
line oriented;
block structuring;
infix notation.


basically it would be another mod on s-expressions, however I was
imagining that indentation would not matter and {...} could be used
for blocks. #{...} could be similar but could inline multiple
expressions. lines could be broken with '\'.


examples:
foo => (foo), basic lines are wrapped
foo x => (foo x), same
{x y} => (begin x y), blocks wrap basic contents in begin.
#{x y} => x y, this inlines.
foo \
x => (foo x)


blocks would allways try to merge with the last statement.


function fact (x)
#{
        if (x <= 1) 1 (x * (fact (x - 1)))
}


of course this may not be worth implementing...

a fair amount to claim.

quick skim. too tired to read much. seems a little vague. no comments I had
not seen given by others as of now.


I try to figure what I can achieve by trying to implement it, though I doubt
anyone believes me...

yes, things are lame. I work on it...
I need a good/working/demonstratable system for me to try to demonstrate my
ideas (many of which are nothing new). demonstratable implies that I create
a demonstration, but doing stuff is effort... I like to try to code stuff,
more so than wanting to make demonstration stuff...
