Right now with Io, operators and literals don't need a significant whitespace to receive a message (or be sent to a target, as the case may be). This is a...
... I am not sure about this. foo-bar is allowed and I don't see anything wrong with typing it that way. You say, with mandatory whitespace, it should look...
"This ain't your father's FORTRAN" (or C) To pick two examples, Snobol and LISP both insist on making distinctions between tokens explicit and both languages...
... If you're using operator transformation, then yes, it would. Consider: foo - bar // required with significant whitespace foo -(bar) // works again with...
Sounds great. I'm mostly interested in this because of the possibility for foo? and foo! style identifiers. Besides that, you should use spaces in those places...
1) I'm not currently an IO user. 2) It seems to me totally reasonable to always require white space surrounding an identifier, but please don't start requiring...
... +1 from me. I think it's a good idea. Guess there's plenty of code in the wild without spaces around operators, but no space between literals and message...
... That wouldn't work well with Io's syntax anyway. We don't have program structure like python or even ruby code, all of our code is just a message send,...
... There's no code in Io, and any third party code I've seen written in Io uses significant whitespace around operators and literals, so I'm not too sure...
... I don't actively use Io myself either. However, I am a regular Python user, and absolutely adore the whitespace system it imposes. The legibility...
... That should have read "I've seen written in Io that doesn't use significant whitespace around operators and literals"; my apologies. -- Jeremy Tregunna ...
... For what it is worth here, I would venture to just say that whitespace usage should be based on common sense and we would leave it free to allow a lack of...
Hi Guys, ... Is there any objection to Io requiring white space between literals and non-operator messages? Legal: 1+2 "abc".."def" Illegal: 1negate "abc"size ...
... foo -bar foo- bar foo - bar foo-bar each could have different results this could be error prone or it could be powerful but a mechanism must exist to aid...
... First off, I'm not suggesting Io follow other languages, again, Io's syntax is inconsistent at the moment, my suggestions are just to bring it in line with...
Hi! I'm just starting to learn Io, and have been going through the samples, but keep running into issues. It seems that whenever I try to run something that...
Hi Jesse, ... ioDesktop, ioServer and io have been merged and are no longer statically linked by default. Addons (new name for bindings) are now loaded from...
... That was kind of what I assumed, but I didn't see that clarified anywhere. Thanks for the confirmation. ... Ah, ok. So, how does one add a reference to...
... ;) One thing you'll notice about Io is that things change very quickly, and the docs are perpetually out of sync. IRC is a good place to be- -- "Jupiter...
Hi J, Tonight I got of my ass and build Io (not the addons) on windows using the 2005 express edition. If you are keen to test it out, you can download it...
... Actually, it was someone else looking for a Windows binary... I'm on OS X and Linux. I was just looking for a way to run ioDesktop stuff now that ioDesktop...
