Yeah, I just briefly skimmed it. I'll have to go back to it for a full read when I have a little more time. > Looking like C is not the be-all and end-all of programming languages. For a language like D, which hopes to hold on to C programmers, it is very important. We're an obstinate bunch, set in our ways. I remember the first time I saw D: I dismissed it because the import statement looked "too Javaish" and didn't come back until a year or two later. A change like this would just be too weird, and would surely alienate some of the intended audience before they get past the first look. -- Adam D. Ruppe http://arsdnet.net
