Ask PG: Intrasymbol Syntax
12 points by tel 5914 days ago | 2 comments
Are there plans to expose intrasymbol syntax to the "middle" level of abstraction in the language? I.e. is it going to be possible to edit the intrasymbol expansions without hacking the core up (like as a reader macro)?

That seems like one of those dangerous -- but occasionally fun -- language options your essays suggested you wouldn't eschew.

Sounds like a good idea.

I think PG has said before that he'd like to allow prefix, infix, and postfix operators to be programmable by the user. So I'd guess that, yes, there are such plans.
