Hy – A Lisp-flavored Python

Once you are in the parentheses line breaks in python are just fine, no additional symbols needed.

  result = ((( 1 +
 
          3 +
         
          8) /
         
          2)
 
          * 6)

works.

Also works as a way to deal with long strings without the \.

  long_string = ('hello'
      'really'
      ' really'
      ' long'
      ' line'
      )

Line breaks in Python are generally unconventional. For what it is worth, the PEP 8 recommendation is for the operator to begin the line (Knuth style), i.e.

  result = ((( 1
               + 3
               + 8)
               / 2)
               * 6)

How much that looks like Lisp is a matter of opinion I suppose.
