I would like to put in my two cents :) : i have already "complained" on this mailing list about semicolons in Dylan.  I would prefer the Ruby style, when line breaks separate expressions, and a backslash can be used to continue lines, or a continued line can me inferred from the syntax.  This would be more like in scripting languages.  I have not yet tried Dylan as a scripting language, but i am curious about it.

The idea about changing name looked strange to me.

Best,

Alexey.
