I certainly understand that position, but I think its worth considering syntax, even if only in a passive manner (i.e. just think about it). I've been dealing with C++ recently, and man oh man* I forgot what a pain that was after not having touched it in so long. Generics nudged Java syntax in this direction, and the little bits and bobs of closure syntax that I've seen so far (no specific proposal mind you), have left me with that same feeling. I hate to try to suggest answers when I don't believe I have good ones, but I also hate to just complain w/o offering suggestions. So I would like to offer up the suggestion of considering keywords rather than oddball symbols. e.g. lambda v.s. => Thanks. *Not to be confused with, "OhmanOh Man," a lesser known super hero. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
