When I started learning Haskell after a year or more of Clojure, the syntax was refreshing, and I found myself wishing I could write Clojure with Haskell syntax.
Later I left Clojure behind for plain Java because of code maintenance issues. I had been writing elegant but deeply nested Clojure code that was very difficult to read and realized that Clojure nurtures this propensity in its users. Though it's possible to write flatter more linear, more readable, more maintainable code, I didn't really want to, and other languages are designed for such. Now I'm coming back to those old discoveries again, and thinking about Clojure, and wondering how much work it would be to write a new Haskell-ish syntax for using Clojure. I was just looking at core.logic tests, which are a perfect example of hard-to-read, using single letter variables, few newlines, and zero comments. To be clear, in this topic I'm not interested in the functional purity of Haskell, nor it's libraries or type system, but just the syntax. Has anyone had a similar experience? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
