Hi Kashyap, > I believe that the comma was not strictly necessary in this tweet > https://twitter.com/PicoLispREPL/status/1542382434066788352 - the one > before "Language". Is that correct?
No, in fact it is very important. Without it, nothing gets translated, and all calls to 'f' always return the string "Language". The comma is a read macro: https://software-lab.de/doc/ref.html#macro-io It is normally used for collecting strings which are meant to be translated in an application. Any call to (locale Ctry Lang) will then translate all strings. In this twitter example only a single string "Language" was used though for brevity. ☺/ A!ex -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe
