DOES THIS MAKE sense OR NO?

(ok this needs to go off the board later but)

posting this:

The only real reason to require stops is to insist that the language follows a very easy and logical flow.

cond
blah
body
blah
cond
blah
else
blah
cond
blah
cond
blah

can get very confusing. Requiring stops means you can easily see what the program is doing at any specific place, etc.

But since everyone seems to like the idea of getting rid of the requirement for stops altogether, I have no problem doing so.

after this:

The qustion in the poll is not exactly clear:

I though it was asking "Do we need stop in the current virsion of the dna script"

I abviosly voted no because:


QUOTE 

cond
blablalbala
start
blablalbala
stop
cond 'two words are annoying to write , just write cond is better
blablalbala
start
blablalbala
stop
end 'two words are annoying to write , just write end is better.
 



For that matter we dont need a "start" statement eather;

conditions are maid up of 3-4 parts and the 3 part is always a < > ~= etc.
make the compiler check if the 3rd part is what it is, then make it execute the 3 words as condition or switch to instruction.

Altough in theory this will work too , for the user I think its easyer to see the "start" statments so lets leave it alone on that.

This means that writing the compilor will be a little more painfull, but my point is we should make it as mutch user frandly as possible, were ever there is a way to skip on some keywords: utilize that way please!

maid me feel , like everyone can care less what I think.

Despite the numerous mispellings and grammer errors, I understand what you're trying to say.

But I DO NOT understand why you feel that way.  My post didn't negate anything you said.
