Rust but Lisp | Hacker News

Hacker News debated a proposal that maps Rust-like grammar into Lisp-style syntax.

Commenters split over preserving Rust semantics, embracing s-expressions, or redesigning the grammar for AI-friendly code generation.

The thread framed syntax choice as a practical question for coding agents and LLMs, not just human readability.

Broader concerns included compiler semantics, macros, and whether machine-generated code benefits from Lisp-like structure.
