while( float rubber_ducky ) { <<<"quack">>>; second => now; }
I now get why that works, previously I was just amused by it. I posted about that ages ago but never realised it actually demonstrated a bug. I ended up believing (when I was a young ChucKist) that instantiating a float named "rubber_ducky" returned true when this instantiation was successful but always had my doubts. That's one bug I'll be sad to see go.
Now I'm upset because my duck quacks for a long time, then crashes the VM. Why is my duck so much less well-behaved? And here I was perfectly happy before I knew I had any ducks at all. -- Tom Lieber http://AllTom.com/
