My point was that the scope of lexical variables can be easily limited.

You can't our FHs to limit the scope so you'd need different packages.

Well we wouldn't need any other languages if programmers were educated enough to use assembler.

FHs need a lot of extra technique, educating a new programmer about all the tricks needed takes a while, without extra benefit.

Discouraging their use doesn't mean changing the language.

Well we wouldn't need any other languages if programmers were educated enough to use assembler. It's a matter of productivity as well.	[reply]

> It's a matter of productivity as well That's what I tried to imply. :) BTW: You can be extremely productive in assembler with the right set of macros, but those macro sets finally evolve to a language like C.
