This is the PERFECT place to give a link to my poem, Ode" rel="nofollow">http://www.tonynoland.com/2009/09/ode-to-semicolon.htm>O... to the Semicolon" . The semicolon is my favorite punctuation mark. At that page, you can hear me read the poem, too; be sure to stop by and comment!

better link, http://www.tonynoland.com/2009/09/ode-to-semicolon.html no need for the html and it's .html apparently not .htm

Hi guys, just wanted to tag along with this thread, because I'm a huge fan of Semicolon! One thing I've always found aggravating though... Those darn semicolons! So I'm creating CoffeeColon, because all these semi-colons are such a hassle. It's probably easiest if I just show you the language in action, rather than going through a long diatribe. So here's my hello world!: " " ^ Pretty elegant, right? let's try someth…

FYI: I tried writing a minifier for it, but briefly caused a small quantum singularity to the left of my monitor. CCMin considered harmful.

Additionally, I've created a linter that I've named ColonCleaner. I think it'll be a real hit. Just relax and let it do its thing.

I want to see how a minified version look like.

Yeah, but how in the world can you debug it?

This used to be a big problem, but now there is this brand new feature called semicolon maps. You should check it out.

Elegant? Maybe, but how many semicolons is it compiled?

I don't even know how to type an inversed semicolon.

In vim just do (copy and paste it if you don't know how to get the initial ⁏):

   :imap  l ⁏
and whenever you want an inverted semi, type l. For best effects put that line in your ftplugin directory, in semi.vim (or whatever your autodetect filetype name for semicolon is).

some people like to map j to ⁏ and k to ;, other like to map f to ⁏ and j to ;, but this is all just homerow keeping. I'm a purist, i like to keep the mappings minimal.
