It seems as if
throw is not allowed after the fat arrow character
=>. It generates the following load error:
The following reserved word must not be used as a variable name:
"throw"
Assuming there are no breaking changes, it would be convenient if it was. Below is a simple use case for it:
Code: Select all
class foo {
__New() => throw(Error('This class should not be instantiated.'))
}

=> takes an expression. Expressions cannot contain control flow statements, just like you can't use return throw(...) in v2.0. Throw is a function in v2.1-alpha.3+.

Thank you. Since
throw was listed in the
Alphabetical Function Index, I thought it was a function in v2.0 as well.

The very first entry of the Alphabetical Function Index is "{ ... } (Block)", which clearly isn't a function... or even alphabetical.
All of the other control flow statements should be there, too.
