Please do not mislead people into thinking that a discussion of syntax alone is of any value, unless there is a willingness on the part of those against the "@" syntax to compromise on a single alternative.
This statement seems a bit too strong, for the following reasons:
- Adding @ impacts major external tools, negatively.
- Adding @ is, in fact, a major change to the language.
- The "willingness to compromise" is not really the driving force here: GvR is the only vote that matters.
I have stated that Leo can probably live with the at sign. I have also stated elsewhere my reasons for not being particularly happy with it.
For the record, I am +0 on the semantics.
