curly-infix examples David A. Wheeler 14 Sep 2012 20:22 UTC

FYI, here is every curly-infix-expression (c-expression) in "sweeten" (a list-processing program I wrote) and "letterfall" (a GUI real-time game written by Alan Manuel Gloria).  I thought might be useful to see "actual examples" to see if it all makes sense.  I think it *does* make sense.

Duplicates were not removed; if the same expression appears multiple times, that's useful information.  I did include one neoteric-expression not{...}.  One of these expressions crossed multiple lines, but for analysis purposes I merged it into one line (so that counting, etc., was easier).

Basic stats: These two programs, combined, have 78 examples of c-expressions (not counting c-expressions embedded in c-expressions).  Of these examples, 55/78 (71%) do NOT embed a curly-brace in a curly-brace. Thus, more than 2/3s of the curly-infix expressions in these programs are relatively simple things like {count-so-far + 1} and {length(x) >= 3}.  Notice that allowing infix operators like "char=?", "eq?", and "remainder" really can be useful.
