Most posts from you that I saw were addressing your "C"-like
language, so I was confused about the actual focus of your post.

It's helpful to give some hint if posted code is intended as
pseudo-code. That wasn't clear to me. So thanks for clarifying.

BTW, I don't consider scripting languages as "bad" - I'm actually
doing quite a lot scripting. - My comment doesn't contain any
valuation and also didn't intend to insinuate one.
