Message: [QUOTE="Jeff Schwab, post: 628516"] I don't have any distaste for convention. I just find multiple statements on a single line of code distasteful, even in a for loop. Don't read anything into it. If people were not dissatisfied with the existing state of the art, there would be no progress. Wild whippersnappers, flouting convention by restricting their code to their preferred subset of language features , may be preferable to gurus exploiting features even they don't really understand. I may not have as much industry experience as yourself; forty-two years, did you say? Far fewer for me, but the same number of digits, and I know what a Hollerith card is. And I, for one, would not want to be 17 again: no college degree, no salary, and no wife. [/QUOTE]
