well I saw the new thrends aka Quad-XML, Quad-JSON, Quad-FFT and so on

but I think thoses will never be used in real life or quite seldom.

I really think that Juergen should be looking at

:if/:elseif/:else/:endif

:for var :in array
  loop
:endfor

:while condition:
  loop
:endwhile

:do
  loop
:until condition

this will eases newcommers to the language.

I know that APL goal is to do a whole "program" in one or two lines of code...
but the language must accomodate newcommers.

I asked for that several years ago (may me 8 or 10 years)

Juergen ansewered at that time "this can be done" but I wont yet

well my principal next improvements wish list is if/for/while/do_until

my real though,

Xtian.
