Any reason for this strangeness ?
They're using the mobile compiler as an opportunity to break backwards
compatibility and push the language in the directions they want to go.
A single, 0-based string type, automatic reference counting, no "with",
etc. Apparently the developers they're chasing after are too stupid to
know how to deal with more than one string type.
Well, that is about 90% of all developers.
Ever talk to a PHP, Javascript or VB developer ?
You can usually start by explaining the meaning of 'bit' and 'byte', and work
your way up from there.
