Anyway as I mentioned before I'm using readable sweet-expressions for a ridiculously large project (whose copyright is currently slightly contestable - it's definitely my code (except for readable/kernel.scm and some SRFI implementations) using my spare time and my own stuff, but it involves IC digital logic design, which is my RL work, so I probably want to get a waiver from my employer just to be paranoid).
So far here are my experiences... Using SUBLIST after a 'define for anything other than either 'begin or 'cond is a recipe for confusion: define foo(x y) $ let ((z compute-something(x))) ; don't do this ! whatever Using SUBLIST after a 'define for 'cond is actually quite cute, and it works well for *nested* cond in particular: define foo(x y) $ cond ! berber?(x) $ cond ! catfish?(y) $ blast-it x y ! #t $ kaboom x y ! rufruf?(x) $ reduce-to-little-bits x y ! #t $ incinerate x y Using SUBLIST for let variables is cute: let ! $ single $ compute x y z ! use single let ! \\ ! double-x $ compute x y z ! double-y $ compute y z x ! use double-x double-y You don't need 'when. You might want 'unless, but 'not is just a few more characters away, and 'unless gets a lot less attractive with the SUBLIST-begin idiom: if pred?(x) $ begin do-something() do-another-thing() ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
