Our next release (currently in Alpha) will have support for XML comments.

Great.

What about namespace ONE::TWO::THREE instead of having to nest them? Being
able to specify namespaces like C# on one line would make refactoring them
easier and also code more readable.

I read somewhere that the __gc, __property extension keywords are being
replaced to make them cleaner, is this true and if so where can I get the
docs on this. When will these be submitted to the ECMA?

Hello dot,
Opening and creating a nested namespace in one statement is not something
we're going to do in Whidbey. We and the ECMA committee have discussed it,
and as with a few things we're passing the issue to the ISO standards
committee. Hopefully, they'll feel compelled to fix it (we're involved, so
we'll try to compell them). It may be a while, as the ISO standards
committee is still in the early stages of creating a new version.

This work has already been submitted to ECMA. In fact, we've already had two
standards committee meetings to work on it. Here's a link to a link to the
base candidate draft discussing what is happening with the new syntax.

Beat them into submission with a baseball bat . works wonders.

Our next release (currently in Alpha) will have support for XML comments.

Something for the wishlist is: The graphical representation like Doxygen
uses.

Hi Olaf,

I imagine that once you have XML comments, you should be able to use
something like NDoc [1] to generate actual documentation files :)

I take it you don't read the language standardisation newsgroups...

I take it that joke was way over your head.
