Line ending character #138

Closed ghost closed 12 years ago

ghost commented 12 years ago

It's nice to have a character that can be used instead of a new line

kierenj commented 12 years ago

This would be possible by modifying the tokeniser - what did you have in mind? Underscore perhaps?

ghost commented 12 years ago

Maybe one of these suckers? "|" , the obvious choice the semi-colon has been used as a comment for some forsaken reason.

kierenj commented 12 years ago

Not currently implemented, but | should be a bitwise OR. I think _ is used in some languages, or a backslash (). It might also be possible to attempt to detect the end of a line/expression in the parser code, meaning you don't have to use a character. I'm going to revisit this at some point soon to see if there are any more comments/thoughts

You could in fact make the space the end of line character, because the format is very straight forward

kierenj commented 12 years ago

Technically, space or a pipe (| or ¦) cannot work as alternative line-ending characters. I'm going to close this one for now..
