Proposal: For an *odd* number of forms a, x, b, ...
{a x b x c ...} => (x a b c ...) {a x b y c ...} => (*nfx* a x b y c ...) Reasoning: Even after a lot of practice, prefix math is still harder (at least for me...) to read than non-prefix math. The [], () and <> matching delimiters are already taken, but {} is only used for an even number of forms (and, in fact, throws an exception on an odd number of forms.) ; trumped-up examples (defn harmonic-mean [x1 x2] {{2 * x1 * x2} / {x1 + x2}}) (defn fib [n] (cond {n = 0} 1 {n = 1} 1 :else {(fib {n - 1}) + (fib {n - 2})})) Basically, I'm claiming a solid win on readability, and no risk of breaking any existing code. I realize there's a certain risk of mistaking curly-infix for a map literal when reading code, but I think it's minimal. To me, at least, {x + y} just doesn't look like a map.
