[e-lang] again, basic flow == control flow?

[zuzu]

procedural loop blocks?  if-then-else conditionals?  yuck!

sorry for acting the grumpy guss; perhaps this is merely due to
building atop Java, but i can't understand how E is an actor language
when it looks nothing like one in the intro examples and looks more
like C++/Java (again, perhaps understandably) than a pure
object-oriented syntax.

perhaps i must distill the *concepts* and make my best implementation
guess in a pure-OO environment like the Ruby language.

p.s. the list feels quiet so far; is there a more active forum for E
discussion?  IRC or a web BBS or something?  or is this just a blip in
the list volume?  (again, i don't mean to bitch; i'm just excited to
understand E.)

Basic Flow


if (a == b) {
    println("match")
} else {
    println("no match")
}


while (a < b) {
    a += 1
}



try {
    3 _/ 0
} catch err {
    println("error: " + err)
} finally {
    println("always")
}


for next in 1..3 {
    println(next)
}

for key => value in map {
    println("got pair")
}
