  • cmu-infix

    Updated infix.cl of the CMU AI repository, originally written by Mark Kantrowitz

  • You don't have to give up on anything, that's the beauty of Lisp. Here's a library from 1993: https://github.com/quil-lang/cmu-infix

    Though personally I don't particularly find (+ 1 2 3 4 5) less readable than 1+2+3+4+5, and since most of my programs don't have math expressions much more complicated than that, even without cmu-infix I'd find the rest of the tradeoffs worth it, much like once I thought despite Python not having i++ or ++i it was still worthwhile. (In Lisp, by the way, one would use (incf i).)

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
