Personal preference and the fact that the ooPIC was meant to appeal to a
less experienced audience, that usually knows VB Basic programming and
not much more. In the previous compiler the C and Java (nearly the same
as C) were not as well supported as Basic. The V.6 compiler does a
better job than V.5 with the other syntax so it may pick up in example
code soon.

One of the interesting things about the V.6 compiler is that it doesn't
care what syntax you use, and you can mix them if you want (and want to
confuse people) and the compiler hums happily along...
