Explicit use of keywords is excellent for clarity and to produce code that is more familiar to developers in languages such as C++, Java, PHP, etc. However, they are not very concise. For example - public is the default and isn't even necessary. Below is a list of certain ideas that could be enabled (it would have a performance impact, so how to use it is yet to be determined):

  • No keywords = public
  • _ prefix = private
  • ALL_CAPS = constant
  • etc...


Whether or not this will work well is dependent on how clear the criteria are and whether or not we can come up with a concise version of each keyword. For example, should protected be '#var' (UML-style), or something else? If that's true, should the others have '+' and '-' equivalents as aliases to their appropriate keywords?
