whitespace in the ℕ𝕠𝕞 language

The role of whitespace in the syntax of the ℕ𝕠𝕞 language.

The Nom compiler bumble.sf.net/books/pars/compile.pss which is itself a nom script (cool, hey?) pretty much ignores all whitespace except within quoted text (that is text between " and " or ' and '). That means that you can put as much, or as little google://whitespace in your scripts as you want. Go for it.

parsimonious use of whitespace

 read;replace"a""A";print;clear;

make it more cryptic with single character commands

 r;D"a""A";t;d;  # to make "sed" users feel at home

go to town with whitespace



   read;

   #*
     let's make dart/flutter programmers
     feel at 
     home
   *#
   replace 
     "a" 
     "A"
     ;
   print;          clear;

Also, quoted text can span multiple lines like this

multiline add command



   read; add ":
      one character "; print clear
