Re: [fpc-pascal] Feature announcement: Dynamic array extensions

Yes, if you want destructive updates you need a special syntax for that. I believe existing syntax is not suitable for destructive update, hence the error I mentioned. BR, Denis ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org

Having worked with APL for almost 6 years and continuing with Q/KDB, I would say APL syntax is much more readable than Perl 6. Though being able to modify language like that is really impressive. BR, Denis ___ fpc-pascal maillist -
