Message: [QUOTE="Austin Ziegler, post: 4488114"] It's a bit of an oversimplification to simply say that Matz doesn't like, but I do understand why. It isn't exactly intuitive to set instance variables in a method signature. (I'm not invoking POLS here, I'm suggesting instead that it would be unnecessarily confusing.) That said, it might be nice to have a language construct like C++'s initialization list: class Person { =09Person() : name(""), age(-1) =09{ =09 // The rest of Person's default constructor here. =09} } -austin [/QUOTE]
