That was an April Fools' joke.
- khazhoux 6y agoHa, that's what I get for posting stuff without reading it.
- protomyth 6y agoLike all good jokes, there is a grain of truth in it.
- burfog 6y agoSeriously, the curly braces are a huge improvement. That's no joke. The "fn" and ":" are good too. I'm less sure about "include", because I doubt Ada does textual inclusion. If it does, then that is good too. Otherwise, better choices might be: using, use, require, requires, depend, depends, external, library, unit, module...
- Lucretia9 6y agoI don't get this whole need to shorten keywords to 2 letters when the IDE will just autocomplete them, it's really stupid.
- kwhitefoot 6y agoNot everyone wants to write code in an IDE. Quite a lot of people prefer a text editor of some kind.
- burfog 6y agoI can't stand that autocomplete. It gets in the way of actual typing. What if I want nothing in the list? What if I actually want to use the arrow keys immediately after that thing has decided to trigger? It probably also cuts down on human ability, like never taking the training wheels off. In the long run productivity might be lower.
- kirghiz 6y agoThe point of using the end statements is to make sure the programmer knows which clause is being closed.
