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))

You mean someone coming from a language with insane tokenizing rules, right?
No, I mean a language where '-' is an operator and can be between two identifiers without mandatory whitespace.

Are there really keyboards with unshifted “_”?
Maybe, but I was talking about keyboards where the row above the space bar looks like (first unshifted, then shifted)
shift [< >] z x c v b n m [, ;] [. :] [- _] shift
Using such a keyboard, using dash or underscore takes the same effort.
