PLOT: Table of Contents edit / delete
David Moon's design for a modern Lisp with proper syntax rather than S-expressions.

Scots Syntax Atlas edit / delete
Interesting project looking at syntactical differences in different regional versions of Scots. (Presumably because they were only looking at syntax, all the examples are transcribed with English spellings, which feels a bit odd...)
F# syntax: indentation and verbosity | F# for fun and profit edit / delete
This is a more useful description of how F#'s indentation-based syntax works than the manual.
to f language-design ocaml syntax ... on 14 October 2016
Understanding and Writing Compilers edit / delete
Richard Bornat's 1979 book on writing compilers. Substantially more accessible than the dragon book. The examples are mostly in BCPL, which (as usual) I'm dead impressed with; for a typeless language it's very clean and clearly suited to the purpose.

Go's Declaration Syntax - The Go Blog edit / delete
Discussion of Go's slightly unusual type declarations. I appreciate what they're trying to do -- but occam solved the same problem in the 1980s without having to write all the declarations backwards...

What if C++ looked more like Python or CoffeeScript? | C++ Rocks edit / delete
Proposing a Python-like syntax for C++.

SRFI 110: Sweet-expressions (t-expressions) edit / delete
Python-like syntax for Lisp-like languages -- there's a discussion of other attempts to do this further down.
to language-design lisp python syntax ... on 11 January 2014
A Lisp-like language idea using indentation rather than brackets. Neat; has some similarities to the simplified occam syntax I was talking about a couple of years ago.

Heh -- cute trick.
Julien Danjou homepage - rainbow-mode edit / delete
Syntax highlighting that highlights colour descriptions using the appropriate colour. Cute!
