The whitesapce thing

[vrotaru]

On the example there is extra space between the arguments. It it rather unexpected.

~follen-tacneb-miswed-folhes--boslyr-havwet-tacdux-roptud/try=> (add 2 2)
4
~follen-tacneb-miswed-folhes--boslyr-havwet-tacdux-roptud/try=> (add 2  2)
~ <syntax error at [1 8]>
~follen-tacneb-miswed-folhes--boslyr-havwet-tacdux-roptud/try=>

Which example?

This has gotta be in crash course in arvo, 1.2, right?
~waclux-tomwyc/try=> (add 2 2)
If so, it's fixed now.

@vrotaru what you have noticed is a syntax constraint that is not necessary but enforced by hoon. When ever possible we try to encode how hoon code should be written al a go. Double spaces should be used to denote sub hoons, for example:

|= [p=@]
^- ,[p=@]

Could be written as

|= [p=@]  ^- ,[p=@]

Thanks. I've started to guess it after observing that same is true in other contexts.

It is unusual, but that's to be expected with Martian tech.:)
