Point taken. However it is still the case that there are many many more "keywords" and complexities in the RB framework itself when compared to the core language keyword set, and it is to be expected that the framework will be expanded at a much greater rate than the core language.
So taking the above into account I think it would take a lot of new keywords added to the core language to really start confusing things. And if the end result is far fewer lines of my code, I would much rather learn those few extra keywords if it keeps my code terse, elegant and more readable. This is why I suggested the "IN" syntax a while back. I also do hope that RS do not reject new features just because they might put off "learners" or "hobbyists"- even if that was the original market for RB. RB is as we know an extremely quick way of getting an app up and running, I don't think even 20 new keywords would change that :) Regards Dan Stenning On 26/1/07 14:29, "Jonathan Johnson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > However, I'll add my two cents about readability in a general way: > any time new keywords and syntax are added, the language becomes more > complex and harder to read.
