    hyperscript has some operator precedence, but within a given general precedence level you have to explicitly parenthesize if you use different operators:

    https://github.com/bigskysoftware/_hyperscript/blob/06f9078a...

    this eliminates most practical precendence questions

    NB: one thing that may strike people as strange is that the parse methods are on the parse elements themselves, I like to localize everything about a parse element in one place

      Not if it's s-expression-based! (laughs in smug lisp weenie)

        Or, if the programming language uses infix binary operators:

        Not if the programming language has evaluation order from left to right, e.g.

        2+3*4

        is evaluated as

        (2+3)*4.

        For example J uses this kind of evaluation.
