more than anything, i want JB to expand on the rangeTo .. operator to add descending and unbounded functionality, e.g. list[3..]

[gildor]

Or just list.drop(3)

[Hullaballoonatic]

yeah, but mine is prettier and easier to type!

[Hullaballoonatic]

oh, well on dvorak. might be a pain on qwerty

[gildor]

Also do not require new specialist syntax

[ghedeon]

unbounded & partial ranges would be nice..

i believe that list[..3] and list[3..] are more intuitive and immediately comprehensible than list.drop(3) and list.take(3). especially when in virtually all programming languages, calling drop on a collection will remove 3 elements from the collection, not return a sub list. maybe i'm wrong, though.
