Re: Structures...
I was only using the multiple-choice-question-thingie to disprove arguments
such as 'c with sequences'.
Now, lets look at your response in that light.
>What is most important in making a programming language?
>a) That its a good, practical language
>b) That its has structures.
However, which argument are *you* disproving ?
That we want structures rather than a good practical language ?
Am I not claming that structures make it *more* practical ?
This was the question I asked: (or something simerlar)
>What is the most important in making a programming language ?
>a) That its a good, practical language
>b) That its the opposite of C
If you question is suppose to counter mine, should I assume you think a good
practical language is the opposite of C ?
If so.. I wonder why we even have variables.." C has them too..!!! Arg.. I
*hate* variables.. Do you want EUphoria to be C without pointers ?"
>Just because other languages have structures, does that automatically mean
>Euphoria should have them too?
>a) Yes
>b) No
This was my question:
>Are structures unique to C or were they added to C, because they were so
>helpfull in other languages ?
>a) True
>b) False
The point of my question (which you appearently totally missed.. oh well)
was that you were assuming structures to be a c-like thingie. Or at least,
you were immidiately associating C with structures. I havent heard any one
say 'Do we want basic with sequences ?' That was my point.
Now, precisely in which way does your question counter mine ?
Unlike you, I never used the fact that many language have structure as an
argument, while you used the fact that C has structures as an argument.
The point of discussion is to counter each others arguments. Precisely what
should i do with your return questions ?
I used those questions to make a point. (a point I made before, but was
ignored, which motivated me to make these questions since they are a
'little' more confronting). Your questions however, do not make any point, o
r it could off course be me... if they are suppose to.. please explain
them.. I wanne see the light too, you know.

Well, this one I can answer: C
However, this was my question:
