[ANN] updates to sc and sescript

[ANN] updates to sc and sescript

[tantalum]

i use scheme-like syntax to write c and javascript, and i do this with 
two transpilers that ive recently revised.
you might have looked at sc and sescript in the past, but what ive 
changed now is that i removed features that dont map directly to a 
single c syntax form and straightened things out to really make the 
output as if originally written in the target language (albeit 
unformatted).

* https://github.com/sph-mn/sescript

sometimes i wondered if the number of round brackets is a bit much for 
the imperative style of c and javascript and if a coffeescript-style 
indent-based syntax would be better suited. but the simplicity, 
structural editing and reading speed im used to with scheme make up for 
it.
an interesting thing ive found is that i need about 50 test cases to 
test ecmascript and its edge cases and 140 to test c - that says 
something about the complexity of these languages.
