There was an exchange on IRC last week about removing some keywords. It seemed a bit too broad and open-ended to open an issue for it, but I didn't want it to get lost entirely.
pcwalton:we could get rid of "resource" and "be", maybe "while" and "log", although "trait" will add another pcwalton:maybe unifying import and use like we talked about graydon:'as' can go if we pick up go's expr.(type) syntax pcwalton:yes pcwalton:I like that syntax graydon:is 'tag' still listed? looks like in my docs. it should be 'enum' now pcwalton:"note" might be better done as a special kind of class pcwalton:just RAII-based pcwalton:notes sitting on your stack print themselves out during unwinding, but hide otherwise graydon:maybe. that's how it was done in monotone (where I copied the feature from) graydon:'block' is a dead keyword, you can remove that graydon:as is 'obj' graydon:'syntax' is likely to prove redundant, or might if we shift around the order of evaluating attributes and/or make "activating a compiler plugin" something you can do via attributes. graydon:pcwalton: 'in' is also dead, I think. 'with' could probably be turned into something symbolic w/o much work.
