This theme was voted at dev mail list, but now there are more opinions.
I prefer non fall thru as default, as is common situations like apps processing the next key or token as ed.ex
Non-fall through is the default. The opinions shared here were taken into account, and I really think we came up with a good solution.
do is redundant, as is redundant on for instruction but this is solved with auto completion editor. Editor can also add break for each "case"
'do' is redundant everywhere, but it's standard euphoria.
If use switch cause confusion to C or JAVA users. Change to BASIC style using "select" or "on"
No, I think we're going to stick with what we've got. It's very usable, and I think fits very well within euphoria. We've taken a common programming structure, and adapted it to euphoria. That said, I think that everyone can probably find something about it that they don't like, which is the nature of compromise and consensus, which is how euphoria's switch evolved.
