I don't know, I've only ever seen that syntax in PHP- or Perl-based systems. ASP never used it, so far as I know, and Rails doesn't use it. > Personally, I don't find this a major issue, just a thorn in the side, > but I wanted to ask the question on the very far chance that django can > be made even more popular because I like it alot. I don't really see it as something that inhibits adoption, and pretty much my entire background is in PHP and Perl, so hopefully that counts for something :) -- "May the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house." -- George Carlin
