No it's not. It's just that your particular request on this single occasion was a
bit unwarranted. How does if benefit everyone else if brackets get removed?
Even if optional, it's silly to expect Fred to support two ways to accomplish the
exact same thing...

Plus. Imagine situations like functions within functions.

I.e: result$=somefunction(otherfunction())

No way you can do that without (),
so what do one end up with? Well mixed function syntax within the same source,
if you thought that mixing string.s and string$ was bad enough,
imagine mixed function syntax. ugh...

No, please not let us in ruh with this damn shit!
Uhm, too early in the morning:
No, please leave us alone with this damn shit!

Noone wants a way to write commands like this kiddy languages!!! Just small 5 aged play around with that crap.

Delete this topic, before Fred sees it!!!

[EDIT]
Ohh, thanks Fred for disaccepting this crap

Please calm down! Some people like brackets, others don't.
Nothing to argue about.

Polo,

Remember that your request has to be balanced against all of PBs other requirements.

For example, PB has to have a lightening fast compiler. At the moment the compiler is kept as simple as possible to keep it quick.

Having all Procedures clear because they always have the form Procedure(Args*) makes it very clear. If the brackets were taken away then the compiler would have to do more work, slowing things down.

I've had a couple of requests accepted, though not all of them have made it into a release yet, so don't think that this forum is useless. Posts are considered.

@all:

Again, (repeating self), putting aside the merits and demerits of the request, it seemed like an innocuous enough wish to me.

And this is a wish list and feature request forum.

I wonder how many of us will feel comfortable about posting a wish after this? Especially those of us who might find someone responded with a link to our putdown posts here.

If you really feel the need to slag off at someone (*wonders why*) then my offer stands: Slag off at this post (mine). I promise to react like a wimp.

I wish PB would implement/support doubles.
I wish PB would implement/support variants.
I wish PB would allow block comments.

I even wish PB would allow an optional THEN after the If.

Bring it on, ya mugs. Com'n, have a go.

True. But wishes are supposed to be valid and useful... what's this all about:

ReAllocateMemory ( handle, 8 )
-vs-
ReAllocateMemory handle, 8

Come on, let's not be silly about what we wish for...

Oooof. Ouch.

(Wimping as promised)

BTW - who determines what is silly? I see nothing silly about the request. Whimsical, maybe. But not silly.

* splits another hair in this hairy thread *

Nobody have the right to call something silly, as silly is just a matter of point of view.
The discussion is going in a crazy way now, it stops here, thanks.
