Just took the survey. My opinion about the case-sensitivity is that I don't really care. Let the editor be case-insensitive and then just auto-capitalize everything when it's sent to the compiler if it must be case-sensitive (but leave the code in the editor untouched!).

I've been away for a while, college kind of does that, but I'm glad to be back. I took the survey, probably too late to affect anything by now though. I'm excited about the AppGameKit, and look forward to its release! Looks like it's going to be a good summer!

Here's my opinion on the few things I know about :

* Please change array brackets to square ones! I've lost count of the number of times I've confused arrays with function calls.

* Case-Insensitivity and no requirements for "#" or "$" please; let people write in the format they are comfortable with.

* Please have different symbols for assignment and equality comparison, don't use "=" for both, it is confusing.

* I don't see the need for brackets after commands that don't require parameters, even IF they return a value such as get time$(). The way I think of brackets is not actually part of the function name but an attachment to the name for the parameters used i.e. WeAreCallingThisFunction(psst, but, with, these, parameters, this, time).

* Spaces within commands can be confusing so I'm glad people want rid of them, but I like languages that use a "." to separate words, like Delphi, so you could type "load." and a hint box would come up with all the things you could load. I found that very useful when learning Delphi. Maybe you don't explicitly need a "." to do this but that's just an example.

Err, I can't think of anything else. Just please try to keep the ethos of DB, make it simple to use and learn, and maybe a bit more intuitive; there are a few inconsistencies within DB e.g. "create bitmap", "make object" would have been easier to remember had they used the same word.

I am hoping the Syntax will be the same as DBP. I also like the idea of the $ usage as an option. The Hash sign I'm not so worried about.

The other thing I like is being able to quickly distinguish functions from regular items on my screen. In other-words, make the FUNCTIONS in caps. It makes it a lot easier and faster, AND I can focus more on the project and not on syntax. I'm getting old and my eye site is getting up there in years, so CAPPed functions does make it easier on my eyes.

These are my Zero point zero zero zero zero two cents..
