It's out of favor now, but Objective-C? IIRC it was inspired by Smalltalk's message syntax.

- soapdog 9y agoThat was the feature I liked the most from my Objective-C days in the early versions of Mac OS X, it felt a bit like SmallTalk even if it was just named parameters and messages.
- masklinn 9y agoIt's not named parameters though, it's compound message/method names. The arguments are interspersed within the "bits" of the method unlike e.g. Python which has named parameters separate from the method name.
