But yeah, personally, it does excite me to see that the Unison authors thought differently. Even if it's just sheer curiosity what they do with it and whether that added consistency is nice to work with.

This is what attracted me. Before I sold out to VB and Access in the early 1990s, I was just a labourer and hobby programmer of the "language junkie" type. The same three programs written in every language I could find (Metaphone, Pong, and Rolodex).

Now I'm retired (but 10 years away from programming) and want to try to reboot that hobby. I thought I was just making a tiny little complaint about my aged brain, not opening up a whole thread!

No worries, I think everyone's having a grand time discussing Unison. I'm guessing, this whole post attracted lots of language junkies for obvious reasons...
