It is the same to teach and to learn "the property of myObjetc" than
"myObject.property". The argument xTalk is easy was true 10 years ago, no
more today.
I am sure of that even for 12-15 years french speaking kids ; i do not
know for english-speaking kids.
Yes, please, if anyone at RunRev is reading this, please add support for standard statement syntax such as
x = y + z (instead of put y + z into x) x += 1 (instead of add 1 to x) x.myProperty = foo (instead of set myProperty of x to foo)
Not supporting these standard statements make the language look a bit "beginner-ish".
