The shift back to "when" clearly failed to achieve consensus.
FWIW, I think "then" is better, because "when" sounds as if it should
be passed some kind of predicate or condition. It just doesn't read
very natural when taking continuations.
Just a bikeshedding, but "when" as well as "then" are too ... deep, or
how to say it, used in too many different situations in the plain
English. IOW, they will undoubtedtly read awkward for certain scenarios.
I myself found good old Smalltalk ifTrue: and ifFalse: fairly readable.
Wouldn't it make sense to call them ifYes/ifOk/ifRight vs.
ifNo/IfFailed/ifWrong?
