`assert` priority

[bloodyowl]

assert 1 == 2

is parsed as

(assert 1) == 2

Wouldn't it have a better UX if we had one of the following?

• we considered assert like a regular function call (assert(1 == 2))
• we change the priority to parse as assert (1 == 2)

This is a very good idea. I'll look into this. Are you suggesting printing parens as in assert(1 == 2)?

[bloodyowl]

Yeah, I think that'd look more familiar if it looked like a regular function call 🙂

consider assert as a regular function makes more sense to me assert (1==2)
