That's great :) I've uploaded a minor update to the issue which allows
closures and array declarations to contain line returns i.e.
foo = {
echo $it
}
However my antlr breaks down at this time of night trying to get it to support
foo = {
echo $it
echo $it again
}
Possibly all will become
As a starting point for the discussion, I've started writing an ANTLR
grammar and I attached it to FELIX-1521:

Hi Peter,
I absolutely agree with you about parser size, but I wonder if this
might be an optimization? The concern is that in the urge to optimize
early we miss some subtle parts of the language specification.
In theory, the existence of the language - verified via a grammar tool
such as ANTLR,
One of the key reasons for the grammar is that the parser could be
trivial. You basically only need a token and string parser and
recursively parse blocks enclosed by [<({[], etc. A trivial grammar
that is very similar to TCL. Though it is a nice exercise to turn it
into an ANTLR grammar, t

Hmmm but having agreed on a synt
Right, I think it makes sense to define the grammar.
But the grammar just defines ... well, the syntax, not the semantics.
I think most of the discussion is about what semantic to apply on the
grammar.
For commands, imnsho, I think we should discuss and encourage the use of
