README

        
For a much more useful and, I think, nice way to do something like this I have a new project: https://github.com/boxed/indent-clj

Readable Lisp

=============

An implementation of a subset of the Readable Lisp Project ( http://readable.sourceforge.net/ ). 

Currently only tested with some Clojure code and only supports the indent-instead-of-parenthesis 

part of the Readable Lisp spec. Even those parts are probably rather buggy :P

Example:

```clojure

ns timelike.node

    :refer-clojure

        :exclude

        [time future]

    :import

        java.util.concurrent

            ConcurrentSkipListSet

            CountDownLatch

            LinkedBlockingQueue

            LinkedTransferQueue

            TimeUnit

    :use

        timelike.scheduler

        clojure.math.numeric-tower

        [incanter.distributions :only [draw exponential-distribution]]

```

is turned into this (although not pretty-printed like this):

```clojure

(ns timelike.node

    (:refer-clojure

        :exclude

        [time future])

    (:import

        (java.util.concurrent

            ConcurrentSkipListSet

            CountDownLatch

            LinkedBlockingQueue

            LinkedTransferQueue

            TimeUnit))

    (:use

        timelike.scheduler

        clojure.math.numeric-tower

        [incanter.distributions :only [draw exponential-distribution]]))

```

Usage

=====

```untab test.clj-readable``` 

will output standard Clojure source code for the file test.clj-readable

Rationale

=========

I wrote this because I wanted to play around with the concept of Readable Lisp but 

getting that project to build on my machine took me a long time and at the end I 

couldn't even get it to work. Then I found the Parsley library which seemed to make

it a bit easier to write parsers so I thought I'd give it a shot since I've never 

played with parser libraries before :P
