In &quot;hi world&quot; println(), it&apos;s the method String.println() which is called. In println(&quot;hi world&quot;), it&apos;s a different function, e.g. println(String) which is called.&lt;p&gt;prank by ruby users: actually there seems to be a lot of interest from the ruby community =) maybe they&apos;re realizing you can have nice syntax without a VM.&lt;p&gt;Objective C &amp;#38;&amp;#38; ooc: that&apos;s been mentioned on #ooc-lang, it would be very interesting for iPhone development, definitely something to explore =)&lt;p&gt;sorry about the delay, I&apos;ve got more traffic than I can handle right now =)&lt;p&gt;EDIT 1: fixed syntaxic/syntactic. Damn me and my French background ;) thanks for reporting&lt;p&gt;EDIT 2: I &lt;i&gt;love&lt;/i&gt; the comparison &quot;ooc is to C as Scala is to Java.&quot; Seems very fit =)</text></comment>
