Re: If you could change the C or C++ or Java syntax, what would you
like different?

I don't like the way people start flame wars about something that doesn't
amount to a hill of beans in this world.
In order to maintain the integrity of the discussion (have everything

at the same place) please respond on comp.lang.c.

Doesn't sound like a good plan to me:
1) It will annoy the regulars in comp.lang.c with lots of off-topic
stuff about C++ and Java.
2) It won't be actionable -- if you were serious about changing the
syntax, you'd need to get on the standards committees and spend about a
decade of effort working on the details.
3) The syntax of each of the languages is different (despite a certain
amount they have in common) -- it's very hard to have a productive
discussion about three different languages at once.
If I were a betting man, I'd say you were a troll.

I wouldn't bet against Stuart. The question doesn't really smell like
homework, but it reeks of troll doo-doo.
