Work's ongoing in the dev branch. -- Kind regards, Loong Jin

great. I am not privy to when the assign() statement will no longer be in a future release. I have found something in Thingiverse that I like. And it has assigns in there. Is there a recommended method to get rid of the assign's? (Just leave off the assign? like: assign(x=3) ==> x == 3? or what?

This: blah () { assign (x = 3) { something (); } } becomes blah () { x = 3; something (); } -- Kind regards, Loong Jin
