Comment on Show HN: A programming language that uses only parentheses

Comments

This looks like somebody made a mistake using sed on lisp code accidentally deleted everything but the parenthesis. I don't know which is cooler, this or brainfuck.

It could be an interesting problem to write a piece of code that performs one task when run as a Lisp program and another when run as Parenthetic. Or the same task even.

Bonus point if you also use interleaving whitespace [1] to hide yet another program.
