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))

Just like it's best to require indentation, right?
Sigh. No. This is a trade-off, and only an idiot would wreck all variable names in favor of a style that everybody (including me) recommends against.

Again, subjective. I train my eyes by never using whitespace around operators other than boolean ones no matter how complex the expression becomes.
Look at you: willing to train your eyes to do something completely stupid just to justify misfeatures, but unwilling to train them to do something for a good end.

Escaping symbols with |...| is easy if that's what you want, no different from using ().
If that were what I wanted, would there have been any need for this thread? Maybe you just started learning CL, but that messes with a symbol's case. Plus it's even uglier than using non-spaces to do a space's job.

Ouch. FV doesn't even know how to quote and can barely write in English. Of course, I wouldn't expect someone too dense to see the brilliance of this idea to have noticed.
