Sorry for the slow feedback. Stargaming>Sounds like a good thing to be but the arbitrary positioning doesnt make any sense.<
The arbitrary positioning allows you to denote 4-digit groups too in binary/hex literals, like in my example: auto x = 0b0100_0011; Stargaming>fits into the current movement towards generator'ing everything. But (IIRC) this idea came up earlier and there has been a patch, too.< Python is old so most simple ideas aren't new :-) Steven D'Aprano>Underscores in numerics are UGLY.< I presume it's a matter of taste too. I use them often in D code, and the _ symbol is very different from the 0..F/0..f digits so you can tell them apart with no problems. Steven D'Aprano>Why not take a leaf out of implicit string concatenation and allow numeric literals to implicitly concatenate?< The "_" helps my eyes see that those digit groups are part of the same number. With spaces I think my eyes may need a bit of extra time to decide if they are parts of the same number literal. Eric Dexter>I think there is a language bridge so that you can compile d for python.. looks realy easy but I have python 2.5 and panda and it try's to go for the panda instalation. It looks much easier than c to use with python in fact..< Are you talking about "Pyd"? It's a good bridge, and I like it. It's actively updated, soon in version 1.0.
