One of the innovations we're using @vaporware is a new alternative to S-expressions, called Rex. I'm super excited for Lisp devs to check it out. 

Rex has a very simple parser and supports macro's like Lisp, but is much more readable imo. Lots of layouts too

This is pretty interesting. How linked to Urbit is @vaporware? Or not at all, beyond just sharing some ideas?

On Rex itself I’d be curious to see some examples for macros, or rather any larger expression with sub expressions that are evaluated and others that aren’t. S-exps can get pretty hairy and I’m mostly curious what R-exps would look like!

Inspired by some of the ideas, but sharing none of the code.

We tried building on Urbit first, but performance and development was so slow we moved on.

Urbit is a lot like PARC, people will be rediscovering it for years.
