    Actually, I'd rather like the with statement as well.

    No! The only time I've wanted something like that was when trying to copy values from one instance(?) to another A.X = B.X and with only saves typing one of the names, I'd want to save both with ( A , B ) X = X (or something)

      What programming terms would you consider equivalent to foul language? For example: Legacy Code

        Next you'll be wanting to drop the semicolon and case sensitivity.

        Drop the semi-colon? And be forced _ to resort to VB's _ horrible style of _ line continuations!?!? No thanks. Though the case sensitivity... I wouldn't have to deal with code where people name the private variables the same as the exposed properties, with just case differences... Or better yet, gems like:

        int num = Num + NUM;

        Thankfully, I've never actually seen a line that bad, but imagine a program written like that... There's something you can't do in VB.

          BF doesn't hold a candle to Malbolge[^] for horror. "Malbolge was so difficult to understand when it arrived that it took two years for the first Malbolge program to appear. The program was not even written by a human being: it was generated by a beam search algorithm designed by Andrew Cooke and implemented in Lisp." "it took many years before the first non-terminating one was introduced. A correct 99 Bottles of Beer program, which deals with non-trivial loops and conditions, was not announced for eight years; the first correct one was by Hisashi Iizawa in 2007." (this isn't talking about adding a language feature; this is just figuring out how to do it in the existing malbolge language.)

              There are times that I'd like

              with (MyClass myClass = new myClass())
              {
              .Value = 10;
              .ComputeValues(22);
              with (.Nodes)
              {
              .InsertItem(10, 20);
              }
              }

                            something something {

                            more of that something

                            }

                            I know some like this kind of brace style but personally I can't stand it at all. It goes so far that I tend to reformat a piece of code with this brace style before reading it :-D.
