x++ beta 0.2.3 is out now. It implements shortx which is the new alternative syntax for x++ that is similar in appearance to the C family of languages.
shortx was devised to eliminate completely the problem of x++ being verbose. x++ was verbose because its original syntax is XML based. There are advantages to x++ being XML based but many programmers have voiced the need for the ability to read and write x++ in something other than XML. shortx directly meets this need.
shortx is sufficiently like the C family of languages as to make it fairly easy to learn for programmers with experience in C, C++, Java, etc. shortx also emphasizes the benefits of x++ without clouding them with the petty syntactic details of XML.
For details on shortx:

Many Thanks!
