How about FORTRAN (to a very small extent) or Python? I used to dislike layout, but I must say that it didn't take long to become a supporter once you start using it. If you look at C (& offspring), it's not the {;} that makes the code readable, it's the indentation that does. So why not acknowledge that? -- Lennart _______________________________________________ Haskell mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell
