sugarlisp-plus

SugarLisp Plus is a lisp/javascript hybrid.

WORK IN PROGRESS - NOT TO BE USED IN PRODUCTION

Whereas SugarLisp Core is a simple lisp with everything a (prefix) s-expression, SugarLisp Plus extends Core with syntax borrowed from javascript, including:

• simpler property access e.g. (console.log employeeid)
• omit parens for simple operations like !x, ++x, x++
• first-class JSON support, including:
  • [] arrays x, y, z
  • {} objects { key: value }
• multi statement/expression code blocks delimited with {...}
• template strings e.g. "${name} you averaged ${(/ total rounds)}."
• infix arrow functions e.g. (var square (x) => (* x x))

And from some other languages:

• regexes as #// (similar to Clojure)
• "@" as an alternate for "this." (similar to CoffeeScript)
