[patch] lone ~ crashes arc
7 points by sjs 6134 days ago | 1 comment
Entering a single tilde crashes arc without any error message. Obviously Arc should not crash, but what exactly should it do? The only sane thing I could think of is to have it return the no function (ie. a bare ~ is an alias for no). So instead of this:

  arc> ~
  %
We have:

  arc> ~
  #<procedure: no>
  arc> (~ nil)
  t
  arc> (~ t)
  nil
I've pushed the change to anarki (the git "wiki").
