in rebol function comes first, then arguments. no oops-syntax here.

too C like .... it's rebol  dude not python !!!

I prefer the opcodes first, before their typing.

<---- dude @_@

I prefer 1, as it is now. Keep it short. I think of the decimal variations 
like the normal ones, but with some extra (decimal has better precision 
and gives you decimals, so it's something extra than integer). It 
also take up more bits -> more bits, longer name. That's the way, 
I think. Also reminds me of C, where 10 is a short integer, and 10L 
is a long integer. (Not the same, but kind of the same thoughts.)

REBOL is not an object-oriented language shadwolf.

and addi minimizalkeystrokes too. :) and since Carl has choosen that 
way, but before he had addd etc, i opt for the smallest adjustion.

i clash with seti and such. then we should make everything integer, 
and have a setv for any-value.

hum and for decimal! value 1) gives addd
.... not clear enought i think

I never liked that integers were treated like a default value in 
C. This leads to its typing problems, excessive casting, character 
as integer, ...

About previous Alert (rebcode), and to filter noise, please vote 
in the "Opcode naming survey" checklist.

Add 2 to your prefer naming convention
Add 1 to your second choice

Thanks

Has choice 4 been added?

hum noise is for me ?

No.

vote cast.

was late. had to wait, everytime i wanted to vote the vote-list jumped.. 
:)

I don't like democracy, when my opinion is not choosen. ;-P

Well I am in Chicago, but I'll still vote only once :)

rebcode is like politics for me. I don't really care :-)

I do like it if your opinion is not choosen, as long as mine is! 
Have to look if i like democracy now. :)

as in the voting part

Something non-vote-related, would it be possible to have to-dec just 
assign the source to the destination when the source value is already 
a decimal? And the same for to-int, types adjusted?

then you cant convert in-place, as in your example. to-dec  a a

Right now to-dec sets the destination word to none if the source 
word refers to a decimal already.

And to-int works the equivalent way.

oops. misreaded just for only.

I agree then.

This is a place where I'd be willing to add a couple cycles just 
to prevent extremely obscure bugs.

By the way, I would prefer that randz and the trigonometric opcodes 
not be renamed unless you are planning to make versions of them for 
each type. They are already documented as being type-specific and 
there's only one of each, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Sorry, to-dec assigns 0.0 when the source is a decimal, not none. 
At least you can count on the dest being a decimal afterwards...

See what I mean by obscure bugs?

And to-int assigns 1 when the source is an integer. They're not even 
consistent with each other.

Submitted to RAMBO.

hoo third option seems fineto me

Does anyone still need to vote?

looking at the checklist I see, that there was somebody not adhering 
to the rules :-)

never send a checklist to do a voting applications' job :-)

Yeah, I noticed that the votes didn't add up to a multiple of three.

Whoops, I guess they do now.

The survey helped (even with those who didn't play the game ;)
Thans to all

thanks

I've written a patch to the assembler that implements a working OFFSET 
directive and label value fixups. I will submit it to RAMBO as an 
enhancement request.

I don't know enough about rebcode to do any voting - there any docs 
yet?

; You use it like this
label x
;...
offset y 5
sub y x
braw y

Note that label, offset and the branches all calculate relative to 
the end of their statements.

Just after the end, rather.

If anyone wants to test the patch, here it is.
