Form-ignoring syntax? #348

Closed bbqbaron closed 3 years ago

bbqbaron commented 3 years ago

Thanks for Fennel - using it with Love2D and it's great. Big fan.

Clojure's #_ is really handy. Is there some equivalent Fennel option, a form-level comment of sorts? Would that be useful?

We have the comment form like Clojure which you can use for multiple forms. But it does result in a nil so it's not always appropriate.

I'm reluctant to add new syntax which is not common across lisps, since it means implementing it not only in the parser but also in emacs/vim/etc, as well as pandoc, pygments, and the two different text editors I maintain written in Fennel!

No problem!
