Would #<...> be valid edn?

trevorbernard opened this issue · comments

Greater than and less than aren't in the symbols section and I would like some clarification. Can you have greater than and less than in tags in edn?

My guess would be that, no it would not be valid. Both < and > are valid symbols in of themselves (e.g. in Clojure, (< 2 3) ;=> true so they probably could not be used unambiguously as delimiters a la (, ), {, }

Nothing in the spec implies that it would afaict.
