To illustrate #2, consider the following contrivedly complicated code
(but I think you'd end up with similarly complicated code after
developing a project for a while).
define foo(x)
define bar(y z)
. let
. \
. . quux frobnicate(y z)
. . quuux frobnicate(z y)
. complicate
. {quux *<=>* quuux}
. frobnicate(quux)
. cond
. {quux >=< quuux}
. 1
. #t
. 2
define frobnicate(a b)
. {
. {a + {{b - a} * 100}}
. /
. {b - a}
. }
define
. \ complicate
. . a
. . b
. . c
. cond
. . {a >=< b}
. . a
. . {b >=< c}
. . b
. . #t
. . c
define {a >=< b}
. {
. {frobnicate(a b) < frobnicate(a 1)}
. or
. {frobnicate(b a) < frobnicate(b -1)}
. }
define {a *<=>* b}
. { {a + b} / {a - b - 100 } }
;
;
bar(x {x + 1000})
