Line End Marker

[arpieParticipant]

Have I imagined it or did Monkey1 allow use of semicolons for line ends? Is there something similar in Monkey2? It would be nice to be able to write things like :

Property thing:Int(); Return _thing; End

Is this already possible?

Monkey

[crayon-5cb9e25c64985990321184 inline="true" ] Property thing:Int(); Return _thing; End

1 2 3

[crayon-5cb9e25c64985990321184 inline="true" ] Property thing:Int(); Return _thing; End

[/crayon]

isn’t ideal in terms of readability but yeah, there are times when a number of different statement would be neater on a single line – empty extern methods for example.

is there any reason that white space couldn’t be more meaningful to the parser for example

Monkey

[crayon-5cb9e25c6498b729478001 inline="true" ] Property thing:Int() Return _thing; End

1 2 3

[crayon-5cb9e25c6498b729478001 inline="true" ] Property thing:Int() Return _thing; End

[/crayon]

there is nothing valid to be had after ) so why not assume the code bock has stated (even on the same line) expressions like the return statement do need some EOL marker because often expressions are more readable with embedded spaces.
