Those attributes that look like comments have to go. Geez.

  It's likely that they will turn into @foo rather than #[foo]. The proposal is still being worked on.
  • Argorak 12y ago
    I don't understand the problem. Rust doesn't have # for comments, and I find `#[random]` easier to the eyes then `@random`. Or are we speaking about `@[random]`? Then again, I've never been one for micro-syntax-discussions.

      The motivation doesn't have to do with it looking like comments: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/386 https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/386

        Ah, okay, thanks!

    Good enough for me.

  Too much shell programming?
  • dbaupp 12y ago
    A lot of popular non-shell languages use #, e.g. Ruby, Python, PHP.
    • pjmlp 12y ago
      Scripting languages, usually coupled with shell programming.
      • dbaupp 12y ago
        That's not really a sensible association. A lot of work is done with those languages where shells are either not used at all, or are just a development tool (e.g. could be replaced by editor features). It seems rather strange to try to forcibly connect Python/Ruby/... and sh, rather than just grouping as languages that happen to share the # for comments. (Maybe they adopted it from shells originally, but the languages definitely stand on their own now.)

          I never used them for anything else other than scripts on steroids, as I care for application performance. Well, PHP is forced upon me by my ISP and I never bothered to change.
