@onetom I started using my-path= to distinguish paths from regular function defs.
I think i picked this up from a Hoplon user who would use the “=” to distinguish derived (reactive) “formula” cells/atoms, from regular input (non-reactive) cells/atoms in the Javelin state management system.
Javelin is a lens library, and is useful to encapsulate and name data reading and writing paths. I was also using Specter within Javelin cells. Seemed like a powerful combo to tame any hairy data model for front end use.

thanks, interesting idea! btw, i was also a hoplon user 😉 so how about parametric paths? those would also follow this convention? as we an see on https://github.com/redplanetlabs/specter/wiki/List-of-Navigators the unparameterized navigators are all-caps and the parameterized ones are just regular lower-kebab-case names, without any special convention.

ooor %path, like in REBOL! 🙂
and for parametric ones, it could be %path: ;D
it would work, but it would also look quite cryptic...
