I wasn't arguing for the old style, the new declarations should have read from left to right so [6][5][string]int and then you access the elements in the same order that you assigned them, that seems far less confusing and leaves less room for sleepy mistakes. It seems like a pointless mental overhead so have to keep swapping the order of your arguments.
Sorry for the misunderstanding, then. But to be fair, I'm sure that monarch_dodra meant that the new style is better than the old style, so my inference that you disagreeing with him saying the new style is better than the old style meant that you thought the old style was better isn't entirely unfounded.
I do have to agree that an even better syntax would have been to read types from left to right. However, that ship has sailed long ago (plus, I think the decision was made to make it more C-like in nature, which has its benefits as well).
