off-topic

don't know if eventually this link will point to somewhere in this repo

$ sed -n '213,214p' /tmp/julia/doc/src/base/math.md
The complete list is in the parser code:

Hmm, JuliaSyntax is the default parser so I guess this could be updated. But also it seems we're still in a state of maintaining both parsers at the moment.

on the matter of parsers and lisp

don't off hand remember who or the location where (JuliaLang repo, and Issue or PR)

but a community member mentioned regarding the transition the subject of s-expressions

the below XS repo includes the source for the then autotools build system version of the code

on my Linux box I had to use the variable LIBS="-lgccpp" before running ./configure

$ git clone -q https://github.com/varehus/XS.git
$ sed -n '1377p' XS/configure
  --enable-lisptrees      Allow dumping parsed code in s-expression format
$ sed -n '76,78p' XS/main.cxx
#if LISPTREES
                "       -L      print parser results in LISP format\n"
#endif
$ 

at some point the lisptrees content was removed from the source code

improvements to the source code and converted to the meson build system

a few years ago I built it using a python3 virtual environment (venv) with meson-0.54.x and again with meson-0.56.x

a Free Software Foundation employee's comments on the foregoing

I looked at math.xs, and boy is it ugly.

In addition, it seems to mean using functional programming to decompose a list. That is a pain in the neck.

I don't know whether it is more bad or less bad than programming in shell syntax. But at least there' an excuse in that case: programming is built around a command line syntax. I see no excuse for making the math.xs syntax so inconvenient. If they're designing a new language from zero, why take such a big step backard?
