I wish I could do this:
(code...
"Long error string that doesn't fit within 80 characters but is
descriptive, \
which is good, right?"
...more code...)
(The string above would say, "Long error string that doesn't fit
within 80 characters but is descriptive, which is good, right?")
People put code on many lines because it's much more readable if lines
don't get too long. But this is not possible for strings without doing
calling (str ...). This is relatively expensive, right? (str) has to
create a new StringBuilder object.
Anyways, it'd be really cool if the Clojure reader did this. My ideal
would be that indentation before the continuing line would become one
space, or perhaps something similar. I don't think it would make
Clojure too much more complicated—in my mind, any small complication
would be worth the readability. How hard would this be to implement?
Would this be syntactically ambiguous?
