Nice, but it still has semicolons.
- BuGlessRB 4y agoI'd call that a feature. I hate the ambiguity that semicolon-less Javascript creates (a newline in the wrong spot, and your code starts to misbehave).
- em-bee 4y agowhy specifically call out semicolons? what about braces and c-syntax in general? i love pike, but the c-syntax is not my favorite part. i am more partial to minimalist syntax like smalltalk or lisp. python is nice too, but still to verbose. that said, pike at least is really copying c-syntax directly with some extensions, and not just confusingly pretending to look like c-syntax as eg. javascript is doing.
- ur-whale 4y ago> what about braces and c-syntax in general? I miss braces when I code in Python. Specifically because their absence makes code hard to read and navigate. I've never missed the lack of semicolons, and hate to have to use them when I switch back to languages that requires them.
