Oh, I say leave the semicolons in. From my perspective, C++ is a new language, and the semicolon is just a syntactical requirement.
After all, I have to put periods at the ends of my COBOL statements. (Actually, they're no longer required, but I'm working with people who've been programming in COBOL for 25 years, so from their perspective, the period is required.) Seriously, though, I think that retaining the syntactical rules is probably a good idea. -----Original Message----- From: gamers-boun...@audyssey.org [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of Thomas Ward Sent: Wednesday, March 24, 2010 1:34 PM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Beta version 0.1 of the blastbay GameToolkitreleased! Hi, I hope not. I've been programming in C-Style languages for about 15 years and semi-colons are second nature to me. Taking them out would totally screw me up. in fact, that is one reason I suck at languages like Python as my habit is to terminate a statement with a semi-colon and Python starts screaming at me it is wrong. I realise this is a personal opinion, but I absolutely hate Python and any language that doesn't use a strong C-Style syntax. Smile.
