>>they're just trying to make it easier for newbies. Actually, I think the purpose is rather to make it easier for the compiler. This whole thing starter with Algol, if I remember correctly, which introduced the := symbol for assignment. It was then used by Pascal, which was the first "Formal language".
Personnally, I'm not impressed by a language "easier to compile", since the main purpose of a language is not to be compiled, but used by programers. -- _______________________________________ REUSE CODE!
