Syntax 1: Parentheses
---------------------
int func_ret = (do_stuff
x
y
z)
[]int array = [
1
2
3
]
Syntax 2: `with` for functions
------------------------------
int func_ret = do_stuff with
arg1 = x
arg2 = y
arg3 = z
end
[]int array = [
1
2
3
]
# Or, using `with` for even for arrays:
[]int array = with
1
2
3
end
Syntax 3: With line continuations at end
----------------------------------------
Note that the last line shouldn't have any `\` (which is a bit unintuitive)
int func_ret = do_stuff \
x \
y \
z
# Should line continuations be required in this case?
[]int array = [ \
1 \
2 \
3 \
]
Syntax 4: With line continuations at start
------------------------------------------
This would require look-ahead in the parser. Also, code editors won't be
able to auto-indent :(
int func_ret = do_stuff
| x
| y
| z
# Should line continuations be required in this case?
[]int array = [
| 1
| 2
| 3
| ]
Syntax 5: Special long-line block
---------------------------------
longline
int func_ret = do_stuff
x
y
z
end
# Should a lone-line block be required in this case?
longline
[]int array = [
1
2
3
]
end
Syntax 6: Line-continuation-start and line-continuation-end
-----------------------------------------------------------
I find this quite intuitive. But I don't think it's used by any other
programming language:
int func_ret = do_stuff ...
x
y
z ;
[]int array = [ ...
1
2
3
] ;
