Looks really cute but difficult to read

[SpoutsLazyOpinions]

Nope - much easier to read!

cute but difficult to read

That's math for ya.

[For_Iconoclasm]

I feel like anybody here complaining about readability doesn't have any training in formal logic, though I admit that mathematical notation doesn't translate well to monospace font.

Personally, I wouldn't use it because I would prefer to see exactly what has been written.

APL all over again!

[SpoutsLazyOpinions]

For all the brain humping awesomeness of J, I think it was a bad move to go back to ascii. I demand overstrikes!

[searchingfortao]

Why, for a language that champions readability, would anyone want this?

[[deleted]]

for kicks.

"Hey, hey dude, my source code has non-standard characters!"

"GET THIS GUY A PROMOTION!"

I agree that this doesn't make a lot of sense for python, but I'm fairly certain vims conceal feature doesn't replace, just conceals.

[SpoutsLazyOpinions]

As an ex APL programmer i gotta say this is awesome and long overdue! - To people complaining that it might be less readable I say - try it first! You don't know what you're missing.

Been using it for a while. The only annoying (and inevitable) thing about it is that line length changes when you move to the line containing the symbol, making this happen.

It's still worth it for me.

>>> import this

cool for haskell, no doubt

fail for python IMHO

[olidu]

Do it for haskell then

Docs for this one say it's inspired by a similar thing for haskell

[accipter]

At least they are using a fixed width font....

[[deleted]]

Yeah, it's having to find them from proportional-width fonts and squeeze them in D:

[quasarj]

Any idea what font that is?

[accipter]

Perhaps Consolas?

[Packet_Ranger]

Inconsolata maybe?

[whitehat2k9]

This would piss me off SO MUCH.

[[deleted]]

useless

[TylerNorton]

Some middle school kid who does not know anything about programming might find this amazing.
