oh , this is damn *PERFECT* ! a) easy reading b) 'type' and 'property' adjacent without hopping through list of varnames or complex property-constructs c) "variable/keys" adjacent to init value You sold that to me. Then i could pray to the god of the camel herdsman, that my DNA human size(4) ($alpha, $beta, $gamma, $delta) = ('atgc', 'ctga', 'aatt', 'ccaa'); may be activated through perl6 custom parser options 8-) Or even my DNA human size(4) ($alpha = 'atgc', $beta = 'ctga', $gamma = 'aatt', $delta = 'ccaa') which i could sell my perl6-beginner classes even easier. > Perhaps to *your* natural language, but not to mine. :-) I have a german background. But my litte english-vs-perl6 example sounds not so odd to me (what doesn't mean to much): my <aged> <uncles> ( john, james, jim, tony ) are ( 102, 99, 88, 79 ) while 'are' stands for '=' and of course the initializing integers wouldn't match the type 'uncle'. Thanks for your patience with me, Murat
