I'd love to hear an explanation of WHY this doesn't look like Python any more. For instance, is the + operator somehow wrong for Python, and it should have been the word "add"?
There's a very long tradition of using the symbol "+" to represent addition, so it's something most people are familiar with. There's no such tradition for the new operators being proposed.
There is, actually, it's just not a long one. C# has had null-aware operators for a while, for example. I'll admit the syntax sits better in a C-like language, though. -- Rhodri James *-* Kynesim Ltd
