@vrotaru what you have noticed is a syntax constraint that is not necessary but enforced by hoon. When ever possible we try to encode how hoon code should be written al a go. Double spaces should be used to denote sub hoons, for example:

|= [p=@]
^- ,[p=@]

Could be written as

|= [p=@]  ^- ,[p=@]

Thanks. I've started to guess it after observing that same is true in other contexts.

It is unusual, but that's to be expected with Martian tech.:)
