-Wisp turns indentation based syntax into Lisp. The conversion is homoiconic[^h], generic[^g], and backwards-compatible[^b]. It is inspired by [project readable][], but tries to keep itself simple (and stupid: just a preprocessor). More information on the [wisp-website][] and code in the [wisp-repository][].

It is inspired by [project readable][], but tries to keep itself simple (and stupid: just add parens for indentation).

Wisp and curly infix (SRFI-105)
-------------------------------
-Wisp treats braces "{}" the same as parentheses "()" and square brackets "[]", so you can use it with curly infix ([SRFI-105](http://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-105/srfi-105.html)) to get more customary math expressions. In Guile Scheme with Wisp, curly infix is activated by default.

-<a name="fibonacci"></a>By combining curly-infix and wisp, the well-known Fibonacci sequence can be defined as follows:
-
- define : fibonacci n
- let rek : (i 0) (u 1) (v 1)
- if {i >= {n - 2}}
- . v
- rek {i + 1} v {u + v}

If you want to use a curly-infix expression starting a line, you have to prefix it with a dot:
