Hi Everyone, 

Another new feature has been announced for VAST 2021. This time: Brace Arrays. Check out our tweet to see a quick demo video.

Not that I like the Brace Arry syntax per se, but this is excellent news. Porting code from other platforms and submitting fixes back will become a lot easier with this extension. This alone makes it a game changer!

Hi Joachim, 

I totally agree with you. In fact, I doubt we will use it much (if anything at all) ourselves in the base product as that compromises backward compatibility with older VAST versions. So...similarly like Tonel, one the main goals here is to improve dialect compatibility and ease frameworks portability

Cheers,

I understand. I am torn between avoiding redundancy in Smalltalk syntax and keeping it small versus the benefit of conciseness.

In this case, I have to side with:
{statement1. statement2. statement3. ... statement9}
over:
((Array new: 9)
at: 1 put: statement1;
at: 2 put: statement2;
at: 3 put: statement3;
...
at: 9 put: statement9;
yourself)

The clutter of the latter is anathema to me. It obscures the meaning.
