There is a precedent for hosting other languages on top of Racket by compiling their syntax down to Racket. What got me thinking other languages on Racket was Shriram’s P4P article, and also to some degree a discussion surrounding Gambit’s SIX. It got me wondering…
Would PLT have anything to gain from providing a non-parenthesized language created specifically for Racket? What I mean is take Racket, remove the stuff too hard to do without parens, and offer that up as an “official” Racket language. This is not the same as implementing Java on Racket.
How difficult would it be to “come up with” such a language? I’m totally ignorant regarding language design. Would it be interesting… or boring and a waste of time?

Why not use Honu instead of S-Expressions.
Anon:
The documentation says that “The Honu language currently exists only as a undocumented prototype.”.
Jon supports it but, but Honu seems… way past cutting edge.
“Would it be interesting… or boring and a waste of time?”
Yes.
I really like python’s use of whitespace to delimit blocks. I’d be curious to know if this is possible with Racket ? The nice thing with SIX is that you can mix regular Scheme syntax too (and define macros)

I don’t know the answer to that. Racket-users would be the right place to find out.
it felt too tense around me which was true. So a coplue days after that we met up because she wasn’t well and had a massive argument with her parents and was saying that she was going to move away and at that point I started to panic and feel helpless as if she was going to split up with me from what she was saying and telling me I let her down so I said were not getting along at the minute and ended up splitting up from her again! Which is another mistake thinking back to it now and I’ve tried talking to her and apologising but it didn’t work and now I feel I’ve driven her away for good because I went a little crazy again and self harmed myself in a attempt to get her back and wrote her letter saying I was going to kill myself and I ended up being picked up by the police and now she doesn’t want anything to do with me and wont even talk to me and the last thing she said in a text was I don’t want anything to do with you’. I sent her a long letter the other day explaining the break up and that I’m going to get sorted so we can be together again and admitting that I have been wrong but I don’t even know if she’s read it and now I feel terrible and wanting to kill myself all over again.All I want to do is talk to her so we can at least be a speaking terms and come to some sort of agreement so what I’m asking is, what can I do to get my ex back?!’ I really miss her and regret everything like I always have and I just want to hold her and make everything better because I love her so much but I feel like she doesn’t want me now because she I refusing to speak to me.I NEED YOUR HELP, FAST!!!!I appreciate the answers guys, and just to add I’m getting therapy for my problems and have just today got some anti depressants because I think I need them for now, It’s just hard because I know I need to give her some space but it’s only been a coplue days but it feels like months. I don’t know when to approach her again, like how long should I wait? Because I have been told by her mother that she doesn’t want to see me and to leave her alone because it’s over. Do you think she will ever talk to me again?I appreciate the help!Also I’m thinking if I leave it a week or two and learn to play take that back for good’ do you think that would help my chances?
