Re: [SMARTY-DEV] Re: object support

As do I, and we made a valiant effort to come up with a feasible way to support objects without a new syntax. Every idea tried had too many shortcomings. If you have one, speak up. It's not released yet. I'm all ears :-) Monte Andrei Zmievski wrote:

I respectfully disagree. A template designer does not need to know the underlying technology behind a template call. As far as a template designer is concerned, he/she is given a very simple API with functions and parameters and shouldn't have to know *anything* about how that API is implemented. A template designer cannot be expected to know anything about OOP and so these differences in syntax are going to be confusing. I don't want to have to explain anything about OO in my "how to write a template" docs!

For the record, I agree with Bharat.
