A quite decent syntax and an excellent domain name!
How does $person get set?
Good catch, that should have been
if personin the first line.It’s been a left-over from when syntax looked like this:
is Person("Alice", _)$person then "{$person.age}" is Person("Bob", $age) then "$age"
This looks very similar to The Ultimate Conditional Syntax, although that’s for ML so it doesn’t have the nice syntax for chaining method calls.
The author of that paper hung around in the lang design forum were I originally presented this.
