| masak | today's "devil's advocate" idea: comma in term position is actually free, so we could still use it for unquoting | 04:43 | |
| or ,() or some such | 04:44 | ||
| but it's missing the cute symmetry with ` and `() that Lisp quasiquoting has | |||
| and (as I type this I realize) that the main reason Lisp gets away with a one-sided quasiquotation marker and a one-sided unquote marker is that it puts parentheses around all its expressions by default | 04:45 | ||
| Perl 6 and 007 don't, and so don't get away with the same | 04:46 | ||
| maybe that's patently obvious, but it hadn't really occurred to me before | |||
| in other happy news: I'm about halfway through "Let Over Lambda" -- currently reading about anaphoric macros | 04:47 | ||

| Ven | well, ,() might technically be free, but it's only interesting for unquoting in term position | 14:30 | |
