hello Christina,

i just add a #; support in Scheme+  :
https://github.com/damien-mattei/Scheme-PLUS-for-Guile
Scheme+ is an extension syntax to Scheme. It goes in the opposite direction
of Wisp or Rhombus (based on Racket) by keeping the same number of
parenthesis, but they are just differents : ( ), { }, [ ] and it allow the
use of infix expressions. It is my idea, i think Scheme musk keep a strong
identity with parenthesis.
Parenthesis have advantage on indentation (and inconvenient i admit). For
example if you comment a single line of indented code (python for example)
that was used to define a loop you have to reindent all the body code in
the loop. If you want to move a block of indented code you then have to
re-indent it specifically for the new place too.
Anyway scheme and scheme+ ,C ,C++ code are still indented for readness even
if parentheses would be enough to validate the syntax.

Regards,

Damien
