   Bootstrapping wisp¹ with #wisp now works²! → ¹: http://draketo.de/light/english/wisp-lisp-indentation-preprocessor ²: https://bitbucket.org/ArneBab/wisp/commits/0509e9e3418789ef307ae49b7dd862380c5c5bf8 — the magical feeling of seeing a language (dialect) grow up to live by itself: python3 wisp.py wisp-guile.w > 1 && guile 1 wisp-guile.w > 2 && guile 2 wisp-guile.w > 3 && diff 2 3 #scheme #lisp #wisp

     Embrace parentheses, they are your friend. Anyway, do you plan on providing REPL support? Some lispers swear by it ;)

     @zoowar I come from #Python, and what I love is that it reduces the redundancy between indentation and parens. Now scheme can do that, too.

     You may be a "homoiconiphobe" #humor

     @zoowar ☺ — keep in mind, that #wisp actually is homoiconic, because lists are displayed without parentheses, too.

     @zoowar For technical details on #wisp, the best source is actually the comparison in SRFI-110 srfi.schemers.org/srfi-110/srfi-110.html#wisp

     @zoowar one of the #guile folks (ijp) suggested reading up on adding wisp as a language to guile and I intend to try that. I need a REPL.

     I'm no expert on homoiconicity, but that there are formatting requirements in the language seems to blow it. I cant write 'display display "string"', which translates incorrectly to '(display display "string")' The output is correct if the input has a newline/space between the "display" terms.

     @zoowar afaik homoiconity just requires that the language is written in the format you use for its data.

     I did that with my example.

     @zoowar and that is given, because there is an exact transformation of wisp to scheme: data and code are treated the same.

     (display (display "string"))

     @zoowar what would you want your example to be in scheme/lisp?

     You might have to pretend that "display" returns a string value, since I don't use scheme these days and forgot it has side effects :(

     @zoowar that would be either 'display : display "string"' or 'display \n display "string"' — the opening paren is just spelled as '\n ' ☺
