Different declaration syntaxes
==============================
Current
-------
func do_stuff
Int x
Int y
returns
Bool result
code
Int r = x + y
end
- Becomes hard to read with long types.
C-like
------
func Bool do_stuff
Int x
Int y
code
Int r = x + y
end
Pascal-like
-----------
func do_stuff: Bool
x: Int
y: Int
code
r: Int = x + y
end
+ Handles long types nicely:
l: List n Numeric String = new
- Type goes in the middle of declarations,
which IMO makes them harder to read.
Really Pascal-like
------------------
func do_stuff: Bool
x: Int
y: Int
local
r: Int
code
r = x + y
end
+ Handles long types nicely
+ Easy to read declarations
- Extra lines to read for the developer
