Hello, I'd like to make some syntax changes that would make block evaluation more legible. Currently we define and evaluate blocks like this: inc := [ : x | x + 1 ]. (inc value: 3) = 4. addTo := [ : x : y | x + y ]. (addTo value: 3 value: 4) = 7. But I would like them to be defined like this: [ inc: x | x + 1 ]. (inc: 3) = 4 [add: x to: y | x + y ]. (add: 3 to: 4) = 7. What do you think? Is it feasible? I presume it's Opal where I should start looking at implementing this changes, but any hints/suggestions are welcomed. Cheers, Francisco
