I noticed that the "do" keyword behaves weirdly when trying to use it on a single line, e.g. in the REPL:
When the "do" keyword is used to create a function with one or more arguments everything works fine. julia> map([1,2,3]) do x 1+x end map([1,2,3]) do x 1+x end 3-element Array{Int64,1}: 2 3 4 Without arguments, multi-line usage works fine ... julia> cd("c:/tmp") do cd("c:/tmp") do println(1) end 1 ... but single line usage fails ... julia> cd("c:/tmp") do println(1) end cd("c:/tmp") do println(1) end ERROR: syntax: malformed function arguments (call println 1) ... and a ; cannot be used to fix it: julia> cd("c:/tmp") do; println(1) end cd("c:/tmp") do; println(1) end ERROR: syntax: unexpected ; Is this an actual inconsistency in the parsing or am I getting something wrong about how julia handles single-line code? So far it is the first example where I found a line-break to be both significant and not replaceable by a semi-colon. I am using the julia-0.2.1-win64 binary release.
