---------------------------------------------------------------------- (0003396) Vincent Lefevre (reporter) - 2016-10-06 08:09 http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1079#c3396 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mathematica also complains about the use of --: In[1]:= 3-- 2 During evaluation of In[1]:= Decrement::rvalue: 3 is not a variable with a value, so its value cannot be changed. >> Out[1]= 2 3-- (the space after -- in the input is automatically added by the interactive UI, but the problem would be the same in a non-interactive way or with copy-paste). Even when writing math expressions on a paper, I would never write 3--2, or even with spaces: 3 - -2. I would always put parentheses: 3 - (-2). As a language, it entirely depends on whether one would be allowed to add new operators like "--" (for whatever meaning).
