A Great Idea

Name: Anonymous 2009-07-28 4:52

Hey /prog/, I just had a great idea. Let's use a double space (space space) as the delimiter between identifiers so we can have identifiers with spaces in them.

An example:
(defun  add to deck  (card  deck)
  (cons  card  deck))

Here's a   thought,  how are you as     a human being parsing the text      that I  am reading?
I'm wondering what your strange spacing means. I'm also noticing that you're using three and more spaces between words, and wondering how I'm supposed to accurately discern the difference between those, while it's easy to differentiate one and two spaces.

it would require quite a large amount of personal discipline to get used to a seperate system.
So you imagine based on five or six seconds of experience? I seriously doubt there's any way you could fail to parse this automatically after even only a few days of practice.

Not to mention it would fuck with your typing as a larger percentage of the time, you would be having to press space twice.
Oh, noes! Other things to eliminate: al double leters.
