>>> ... I love having not to declare my variable. > >>What I really hate is having the compiler *not* yell at me for mispelling... > >So the solution is a language which requires declaration (for >various reasons) and an environment that doesn't. For example >Smalltalk will ask you about each undeclared variable and you can >say "correct the spelling" or "declare it as a temporary/global/etc". > Alternative solution: give the user an option which says whether or not variables must be declared. HP Business BASIC does this...people seem to love it.
