First, as far as Jeanne's status goes, I have several (three? four?) of the Waite Group's books on HC/HT still sitting on one of my bookshelves...somewhere. Jeanne's contributions to "Tricks of the HyperTalk Masters" were invaluable in my ability to finish my Senior year Independent Research project and ultimately get my TA ride for grad school, my internship, and my first consulting gig.
Please reread last post. I am not arguing that RR is better or worse than HC (in this thread anyway). The post specifically refutes Jeanne's argument that the syntax permitted in HT is wrong. It would seem to me that if y'all thought the syntax was a mistake then it should have been addressed somewhere. As it is, I don't recall seeing anything from The Big Three that would, but then again, there were only tens of thousands of pages written on HC and HT, and I can't remember all of them... I'm also not arguing that the language shouldn't evolve. I am bemoaning the fact that the syntax is more rigid in some areas. However, the syntax issues are just an annoyance compared to some of the bugs in the IDE. For all of that, it's still light years better than having to use C++ every day. -- On the first day, God created the heavens and the Earth On the second day, God created the oceans. On the third day, God put the animals on hold for a few hours, and did a little diving. And God said, "This is good." _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
