I think a keyword is a keyword is a keyword. If it's a keyword to the right it should be one everywhere. How is somethign that's a built-in

yep. that is "slave to the machine" approach. i don't really care how
hard machine should work to understand what i want. ;-)

I take it you also don't care if your IDE lags for 5 seconds every time
you type a character?

sure, i will not use such IDE, 'cause it's fubared. yet it has nothing with "great grammars": it's fubared 'cause the authors were thinking about "how we can write that cool IDE so everybody will prise us" instead
of "how we can write our IDE that it will be fast and easy".

why bother when vim exists : )

i.e. i can't see why i have to deal with problems of
compiler/tool/editor author. it's easy -- at least in this case -- for human to see where keywords are keywords. machine can see that too with
some analysis.

I'm a tool writer. If I have enough problems, I don't build the tool.
The problem is now your problem.

that's good. as we already have at least 4 codebases to build tools upon, and you gave up using that and insisting on writing another one, and failed... i doubt that your tool was really important or even usable. so
now i don't have to try another tool just to throw it away.


Uncalled for IMO, Schott's tools are great.
