[Swift-user] fourth tutorial question

[Daniel S. Katz]

Looking at manyparam.swift, the following seems painful:


messagefile english <"english.txt">;  
messagefile french <"francais.txt">;  
english = greeting("hello");  
french = greeting("bonjour");  
  
messagefile japanese <"nihongo.txt">;  
japanese = greeting("konnichiwa");


It seems like it would be much nicer to be able to write:


<"english.txt"> = greeting("hello");  
<"francais.txt"> = greeting("bonjour");  
<"nihongo.txt"> = greeting("konnichiwa");


But it appears this doesn't work.  Is there some reason this can't be done, or is this just a limitation in Swift?
