The second set.

only lisp is acceptable

I'm surprised. But I have to admit that the second has less clutter and is easier to read at a glance.

It might swing once the code becomes more complicated.



item_t complex(algorithm) {

  function(has, lots, of(nested, calls))

  and(things)

  but()

  I(wounder, how(binary + operators + will / show * up))

  return c

}



item_t complex algorithm {

  function has lots of nested calls

  and things

  but

  I {wounder} how {binary} + operators + {will} / show * up

  return c

}

(print "Hello World")

(return-to-ship)

(map alert! monsters_in_area)



(define (complex algorithm)

  (function has lots

            (of nested calls))

  (and things)

  (but)

  (I wounder

     (how {binary + operators + will / show * up}))

  c)

(map alert! monsters-in-area)
self-fix.

The lack of ambiguity is refreshing.

Sometimes lisp is light and clear. Other times the parens become more overwhelming than normal.
