We're going in circles here. I've for the third time now that what we'd need to get on board is a use case, a description of the end-user problem that we're trying to solve. What you've provided (for the fourth time in this thread) is a straw man argument. What other languages have is irrelevant. We are much less concerned with "consistency" than with solving end-user problems in a way that fits the specific use case. Steve seemed interested in the idea. I'd explore it with him, and I hope you are able to make it happen. I'm done here. # Adam -- Adam Weinberger ad...@adamw.org https://www.adamw.org _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
