No. Restricting to the operators of the 1960s is far too conservative. Having the ability to create new operators is a good thing. Abuse of Algol68 and Scala ability to have program defined operators to create unreadable programs is just bad programming. The idea that a programming language designer and implementor should tell programmers that they are incapable of correctly using a facility leads us to Java. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.win...@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: rus...@winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
