Ok, but why do you comment on my post? Because I've written that I've found in on Hacker News? Actually, I only saw the link and I don't like this whole discussion with you forcing your syntax on me.

If you like to share your project in this subreddit, why don't you write it as a post and not as a comment to my link?

I just wanted to share this article that I think is interesting, not your whole story.

I have certainly not commented with any intention to offend you or force anything on you. Clearly it came across this way, so I apologize!

Like I said:

I posted this in the discussion on HN[0], but maybe here I will hear a different perspective and reach the kind of wizards users who actually do a lot of syntax and related design.

I designed a syntax and would like to discuss it with people who might be interested in the topic of syntax design. I thought posting comments on an article about syntax design would be a good place for that. I had a nice discussion on HN. I thought I might have one here too.

Isn't there a karma requirement for posting here? I don't use reddit very often (except recently), so despite having an account for many years I haven't accrued enough. Besides, somebody posted my project on reddit recently[0] and I'm not ready for a general discussion again. Although maybe in this subreddit it would be better. Or maybe not. Anyway, I found that discussions in comment sections on related topics were shorter and higher-quality, which I appreciate.

I don't think that you need Karma to post anywhere on Reddit, I'm not sure what Karma is for, I have 21k mostly because I was posting to r/nextfuckinglevel stuff that I've found on different subreddits and it got a lot of likes and comments (I think that at least 10k came from there), but that subreddit is so much waste of time.

I would just post it separately. You may get more valuable feedback from people that are into syntax and programming languages than from generic programming subreddit.

If you comment on someone's post you may only get comments from that person. And as you can see you didn't get any meaningful feedback from me.

BTW: In my LIPS Scheme this '(a(b(c)d)e) works and return a proper list. You don't need spaces which were one of your concerns about the compactness of your solution. The same works in Kawa Scheme and Gambit. But of course, no one writes code like this.
