At 02:18 am 2/25/96 -0500, Erik Aronesty spake: >the deviation into c-style syntax is the work of self serving programmers >who are paid too well to have the language remain simple. Your resentment of professional programmers is noted. >We should focus on what the people and the industries want. Obviously, your definition of "people" does not include programmers. >maybe i'm mad...but the CSS syntax is bad enough. If by "mad" you mean "angry", I think you are. I am one of those programmers who would like macros and conditionals in HTML. It would make my job easier and save my clients money. Your implication that it would do the opposite, and that I would *like* the opposite, is naive and insulting. Personally, I think Dan's thoughts on the subject have merit and I would like to see some work proceed on it. +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | BearHeart / Bill Weinman | BearHeart@bearnet.com | http://www.bearnet.com/ | Author of The CGI Book -- http://www.bearnet.com/cgibook/
