Hmm.... less to write... and maintain ?
Go for example to the lazarus project and try to write the controls.pp
unit this way. Do you still think it is a good idea ? When all code is
put in the class header itself, can you still tell what methods a class
has ?
Besides, when we are at Lazarus (or Delphi), when you have typed
TMyObject = class (Tobject)
private
count : integer;
public
constructor create; override;
destructor destroy; override;
end;
and press ctrl+shift+c it will generate the whole body. Which is already
less typing :)
You have to type even less if you start with
classf
and then press ctrl+j
So what is the point to make the language less clear, while there tools
exist which do most of the annoying typing for you ?
