Subject: Jade requests From: Paul Prescod <papresco@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 7 May 1997 13:30:52 -0400 (EDT) |
There are a couple of things that would make my life a lot easier using Jade so in the hope that they reflect other people's needs I will mention them here #1. Quasiquote. Quasiquote allows ugly expressions like this: (list 'arg (list 'n targetname)) ; targetname is a variable to become: `(arg (n ,targetname)) It is syntactic sugar but it is clearer to me and doesn't seem too brutal to implement (though I know that there is a long line of not-too-brutal mini-features waiting to be implemented). #2. Some kind of traceback for debugging. DSSSL makes it very attractive to abstract things out into functions but then you loose context when an error occurs. This seems like a more difficult feature to implement but would make life much, much easier. Thanks for your consideration.
