 AmbientTalk borrows its block syntax from languages like Smalltalk and Self, where the role of the curly braces is played by square brackets, i.e. ''[ args | body ]''. In AmbientTalk, the ''<parlist>'' is only used to denote parameters to the block, not also for temporary variables as in Smalltalk. AmbientTalk borrows its block syntax from languages like Smalltalk and Self, where the role of the curly braces is played by square brackets, i.e. ''[ args | body ]''.

 +Be careful when nesting calls to keyworded functions: a call of the form ''foo: foo: 1 bar: 2 bar: 3'' is parsed as ''foo: (foo: 1 bar: 2 bar: 3)'', not as ''foo: (foo: 1 bar: 2) bar: 3''. It is recommended to always explicitly parenthesize nested keyworded function calls.
