Comment on Semicolon: A language of semicolons

Comments

Shouldn't this language be white-space insensitive in order to be truly pure as a semicolon language?

Clearly, practicality was chosen over purity; I find the added readability gained by the space separators to be much more pragmatic.

I agree. You should be able to delimit statements with the ! character.
