  11. I only have a first-class honours degree in Computer Science, so I may not
  12. understand this discussion properly, but it seems to _me_ that anyone who 
  13. argues against the semi-colon insertion probably would prefer Algol 68.

  15. Good luck to them, I say.  If they don't know what a dangling operator
  16. looks like even when it's dangling in front of them then they should be
  17. taken off the icon list immediately :-)
