Your wish is my command. If you want to use sweet-expressions to write
scripts, I have a new toy in the git repository, "sweet-run". I'd like to know
if it's worth keeping.
The "sweet-run" program processes the rest of the file through "unsweeten" and
runs it. Here's an example of using it, in this case to use scsh:
===================================
#!./sweet-run
;#!scsh -s
;!#
run cat("README")
===================================
Here's another example, to invoke guile:
===================================
#!./sweet-run
;#!guile
;!#
; This is a demonstration of sweet-run.
display "This calculates 5:\n"
display {2 + 3}
display "\n"
define factorial(n)
if {n <= 1}
1
{n * factorial{n - 1}} ; f{...} => f({...})
display "Now let's calculate factorial(22):\n"
display factorial(22)

$ cat sweet-run-demo2
#!./sweet-run
;#!scsh -s
;!#
===================================
Thoughts? Is it a keeper?
