LDPL should really support expressions. It's very cumbersome to have to use

MULTIPLY someVar BY someConstant IN temp_var
ADD initialValue TO temp_var in TEMP_var

to do initialValue + someVar * someConstant. Given that LDPL compiles to C++, adding expressions to the language should be fairly easy. I'm not saying that IF statements or WHILE statements should support them (it would be nice, though), I'm saying that there should be some statement like

IN var SOLVE EXPRESSION initialValue + someVar * someConstant

Maybe IN var SOLVE MATH initialValue + someVar * someConstant? Since EXPRESSION is kind of ambiguous in programming languages? But maybe that's just because I'm a bad math student !

That would be fine as well, yes! I think that's even clearer haha
