I dont think so. Depend on your definition of "hurt". For many people, myself included, is ugly to the point of being almost unbearable. I suppose writing Pascal code like this if my_condition then begin { ... } end else begin { ... } end; or C code like this if (my_condition) { /*...*/ } else { /*...*/ } or worse: #define BEGIN { #define END } #define THEN #define ELSE else #define IF(c) if ((c)) IF(my_condition) THEN BEGIN /* ...*/ END ELSE BEGIN /*...*/ END doesn't really *hurt* anyone. But still... Juanma
