As usual, you've expressed it much better than could have. :) > If I had $100.00 to spend, my choices would be: > Keep free form "goto" $90 > Eliminate semicolon $10 If I had to choose, mine would be the reverse. Java has taught me what a royal pain ";" and curly braces truly are. > Ability to participate in the compiler design discussion: $Priceless! I don't know about that. So far, nothing has been heard from Hans or Barbara. I get the distinct impression that, as far as they're concerned, the discussion was over before it ever began.
