BTC Lisp as an alternative to Script

The discussion revolves around an alternative syntax approach for programming, specifically highlighted through the introduction of !curly-infix
notation as defined in SRFI-105.
This innovative method transforms traditional expressions by redefining how braces {}
are utilized, converting them from their usual function into a tool for simplifying the syntax. For instance, an equation expressed in the conventional format {a = b}
is transformed into a more streamlined and readable form (= a b)
. The approach extends beyond simple equations, accommodating complex comparisons by seamlessly translating expressions like {{a} < {b} < {c}}
into (< a b c)
. This syntactical shift not only enhances readability but also aligns with the broader goal of making code more accessible and intuitive.
