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"

Gee Frank,


If memory serves, none of these "standard" statements would pass a FORTRAN, COBOL, PL/1, Pascal, or Modula compiler or a BASIC interpreter.

Must C syntax prevail for a language to be non-"beginner-ish"?

Who are a little wise, the best fooles bee."
