[a civilised summary of the C vs Transcript conversations...] including the remark
I understand Marc's desire that it would be nice if Transcript supported C-like syntax, because most of the worlds computer languages are C/Algol like (no need to comment if you have counterexamples that all languages aren't C/Algol like...I believe you).
I just couldn't pass up the reference to Algol - I experienced a warm feeling that anyone would remember Algol, as I cut my programming teeth on it, initially by taking an algorithm in ACM by Donald Knuth for calculating the date of Easter and translating it into LISP - my first program! - and subsequently by completing an Algol compiler for a long-forgotten mainframe.
Just my nostalgic 2 pence (tuppence old Sterling, in this case).
