The thing is, I'm just starting to toy with Chuck and I am not familiar with the syntax of anything but Python. More specifically, I'm getting a syntax error in the original code example posted on this page under "using events. Can someone please tell me what's wrong in that little printer() thingie? -- >
That sample has several errors (incompatible types in assignment, wrong order of operands, missing "fun void" in the function declaration). It doubt anyone ever tried to run it.
PS: Sigh, what do you cats use for a Chuck IDE so that you don't spend days hunting for a missing indent?
Python is the only common language that I know of where indentation is important to the compiler. For other languages it's just a convenience to make it easier for the programmer to read. I personally use XEmacs with the chuck.el that's been posted here a few times. -Scott
