       | I was almost uninterested in this article because I prefer to use
       | Markdown or HTML depending on my goals, till I realised that the
       | name is from Esperanto. Very nice!

       | I quite enjoyed working with Scribble for my ridesharing side
       | project. If you want examples of how it looks, just browse the
       | Racket documentation. Very easy and (dare I say) easy to work
       | with.

         | Interesting idea, hard to go wrong with S-expressions.
