Thanks. Given the state of the world we felt that not answering why would just get a pile of "Neat|WTF|Huh - why did you do this?"
I just finished skimming through the paper you have linked on the site and liked it quite a bit. It directly answered another question I had, which was what would it take to implement Lisp-style syntax in the same fashion as you did for C-style syntax? I'd normally talk myself out of ideas like that, but your paper is talking me into thinking about it more.
Thanks for sharing all of this!
I'm tickled pink that Little is on the front page of hacker news.
