Hi,
there might be reasons for an own 2D vector class (instead of using Point).
But still I dislike the reimplementation of "," because for me so far it
has the meaning of "concatenating things".
Like concatenating coordinates :-)
Here you redefine it to create vector instances and it works only up to
three
so far. Right?
I understand that this gives some similarities with the math notation (1,2)
but I personally would prefer to use:
1@2 asVector
or Vector2D x: 1 y: 2
Thx
