Summary | 0006649: [RFE] [Code] Request ";;" (double semi) be added to language as a "then" sequencer. | |||||||||||
Description |
After extensive discussion on the list in July and August 2007 (look at the thread starting with the word pipe) started by Fabio Filasieno fabio.filasieno at gmail.com and with parser code for implementing the sequencer from Vassili Bykov smalltalkbigot at gmail.com Its time to request action. The general consensus of those wanting the feature was that ';;' was a good and acceptable form for it. And with the notion* that having the feature will facilitate making code more readable. I am recommending that it be included in the a release of squeak and be added to our repetoire of syntaxtic sugaring. |

Additional Information |
There are often times when you would wish to follow a key word message with another message. The usual programming proceedure is to go back select the message; surrounding with parens and add the next message. Having a double semi sequencer for "and then ...." or "and next..." would make some things easier to read when reviewing the code. I find this the telling argument though I also look forward to the fact it would make some sequences easier to write. The more I've thought on it the more I like the idea. So I would like to see it put into action. Yours in curiosity and service, --Jerome Peace |
