I think parentheses around the entire expression is more consistent with
other languages. For example, in JavaScript you would create a new date
object with
new Date()
You might get just the 4-digit year with
now = new Date();
year = now.getFullYear();
or you might just do it in one step like:
year = (new Date()).getFullYear();
Of course with Transcript, the = operator means the same thing that the ==
operator means in other languages. That probably can't be changed anymore or
everything wouldn't be backwards compatible. So some other kind of
assignment operator would be needed like
b.a := c (looks like an arrow pointing to the left)
