Hi. Good initiative. Here is my twitter questions: - What the reason to introduce BlVector2D instead of using existing Point? - How often this vector will be constructed by hands in user code? It is related to my question about comma message: is it really needed? Now you can evaluate (10*,* 20) to get vector instance. And if it is only to simplify scripting and examples then why not use Point for this? As you said point can be converted to vector.
