Frank...never said x=1 was bad, just that it was not as good as "put 1 into x" in terms of my mind and readability!

Supporting JavaScript is an interesting idea. I probably wouldn't used it, but I wonder if it would bring others to Revolution.
And the new Director supports JavaScript alongside Lingo syntax. My bet: it'll just confuse everyone. (And I love Lingo, BTW)

Hah! Lingo supports = (equal sign) as an assignment operator (plus lots of overloading +=, -=, etc.), so I guess "x = 1" can't be all that bad :-)
hah! ;-)
My bet is that it will lower the barrier against using it for those who know Javascript already -- "Hmmm, Director has Javascript syntax? Maybe it won't take as long to get up to speed as I previously thought it would."Well, sure it'll lower the barrier for those who already know JS. I just don't think that's such a big audience. JS app developers as a set probably don't have much Venn Diagram overlap with multimedia developers.
