alt Hacker NewsThe syntax and the concepts (const, move, copy, etc) are orthogonal. You could possibly write a lisp / s-exp syntax for c++ and all it would make better would be the macros in the preprocessor. The DSL doesn't have to be hard to read if it uses unfamiliar/uncommon project specific concepts.
Yes, sure.
What i mean is that in cpp all the numerous language features are exposed through little syntax/grammar details. Whereas in Lisps syntax and grammar are primitive, and this is why macros work so well.
