I may be missing something, but how does having to (declare) vars fix typos? I don't think anyone is suggesting *creating* a var that is referenced before it is defined. What people are asking for is that the compiler looks-ahead to verify that the var will eventually be defined, and then go on its merry way. Typos would still be discovered, and people wouldn't have to stop and (declare).
I'm not saying it's an easy change... Paul On Mon, Mar 16, 2009 at 3:45 PM, David Nolen <dnolen.li...@gmail.com> wrote: > This has come up before.
