rhombus

There was some interesting discussion which data structure to use for Rhombus: https://github.com/racket/rhombus/discussions/221

A metacircular interpreter in Rhombus: https://github.com/racket/rhombus/blob/master/rhombus/rhombu... Rhombus is a general-purpose programming language that is easy to use and uniquely customizable. https://rhombus-lang.org

The best effort I’ve seen at working around lisp’s parens notation and make its syntax more declarative-looking is Rhombus, which is based on Racket, and actually on track to replace it. what it looks like: https://github.com/racket/rhombus/blob/master/demo.rhm more info: https://doi.org/10.1145/3622818 https://github.com/racket/rhombus

That's always the case for new languages :-) Language adoption takes time. Besides Rhombus is still in the integration phase https://github.com/racket/rhombus/discussions/521

It's supposed to take a couple of minutes. Please file a bug report so this can be tracked down. https://github.com/racket/rhombus

All: we've changed the URL from https://github.com/racket/rhombus/discussions/521 to the base link suggested by commenters. Thanks!

And here's a non-trivial example of how it looks/feels. https://github.com/racket/rhombus/blob/master/gui_demo.rhm

for anyone interested, I recommend spending a few minutes with this to get a feel for the language (and if something is undecipherable then searching the docs for that thing, because the docs are super verbose and hard to navigate, and too dry, IMHO): https://github.com/racket/rhombus/blob/master/gui_demo.rhm

As someone who gets the shakes from looking at too many parenthesis I think it's a great step in the right direction. A few weeks ago I went through the "GUI demo" source, and it's not bad. Of course just reading it doesn't tell much about what's the IDE support, how easy it is to figure out the arguments/types. (But it's rhombus/static, which is encouraging!) https://github.com/racket/rhombus/blob/master/gui_demo.rhm

This says more of that sort of thing: https://github.com/racket/rhombus/blob/master/resources/plan...

Actually looks quite interesting. syntax looks like: fun | is_sorted([] || [_]): #true | is_sorted([head, next, tail, ...]): head .<= next && is_sorted([next, tail, ...]) is_sorted([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]) is_sorted([1, 2, 30, 4, 5]) a bunch of ways to express blocks, pattern matching and macros. The class facilities also look very nice. other than some indentation it doesn't feel pythony at all (which for me is a good thing!) more like an Elixir feel (cute syntax for some great concepts behind) see https://github.com/racket/rhombus/blob/master/demo.rhm

You may want to take a look at Rhombus, that is a somewhat-python-like language with macros that is written in Racket. > Rhombus is an experimental, general-purpose programming language with conventional expression syntax that is built on Racket and that is macro-extensible in the same way as Racket. It's still work in progress, but you can install and run the prototype. I recomend to take a look at the "demo" file with examples https://github.com/racket/rhombus-prototype/blob/master/demo... Or read the docs https://docs.racket-lang.org/rhombus/index.html , in particular an overwiew in https://docs.racket-lang.org/rhombus/Modules.html and some examples of macros in https://docs.racket-lang.org/rhombus/expr-macro.html .
