I'm on board if we can nest them like parentheses in LISP.

Myself, I can't wait till we see them introduce this symbol ~
(<>.(<>.,<>)>.,<>)

Now you're talking. But maybe we can spice it up with required white space that changes the meaning of the statement if you change the placement of a space character, as folks enjoy with Python.

Yah, that's the one thing that bugs me about python programming. But a good IDE will enforce proper indentation to help keep you out of trouble.

Don't forget the Conan operator ( cssssss{|;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;> ) which makes sushi out of your code in any language

I was doodling around today and had to reset a number of variables manually to "". I was thinking how nice it would be in this one use-case to be able to do that just by writing something like ~

put "" into (tmp1) and (tmp2) and (tmp3) and...

or even

set the value of tmp1 and tmp2 and tmp3 to ""

Such a large number of variables handled uniformly suggests a good case for an array, where emptying all of its slots is an even shorter one-liner.

Yah, was already thinking along those lines, but good to have confirmation
