[LISP] [Web] Let's work on the new Lispweb! [Standard]

Name: Anonymous 2015-08-17 1:10

We're all sick of dealing with the verbosity of XML/SGML based languages, the inconsistency of CSS and the overall badness of Javashit. Transcompiling to any of these languages is just a half-assed try at sugarcoating a turd.

Post your ideas for syntax/semantic rules, document structure, protocols, rendering techniques or anything relevant to the topic.

Hopefully we will be able to create a basic clone of /prog/ using the newly designed languages. No need to work on retarded features like animations or ``single page applications'' because this project is aimed exclusively at EXPERT PROGRAMMERS.

This is wrong though, right parentheses don't contain information about what expressions they close, so there is no ambiguity or question about their function. In (HT|X)ML though, you must close your tag with the name of the tag you are closing, giving rise to a whole class of errors of the form <tag1><tag2></tag1></tag2>. The removal of this class of errors makes writing, reading, and parsing the language much easier for computers and humans alike. Have you ever had the misfortune of having to use a tagsoup-like XML "parser"? Sexps make them obsolete: since there are no closing tags, all sexprs with the right number of parentheses form valid trees.
