- the required 'then' keyword
Yes indeed. That's a pain too. Did anyone ever succeed replacing then-end
and do-end constructs to use curly braced blocks like C, i.e. "{" and "}" ?
Adding support for braces in place of the current block structuring
would be difficult because of the clash with the use of brace for
defining a table. Javascript, for instance, has a nasty ambiguity
because of this.
And personally I find the Lua block syntax to be tolerable.
