The 'previous' feature sounds like a great idea! The compiler could even decide which variables it needs to keep track of.
I think it would lead to a lot of hard to find logical bugs in a lot of projects but I think it would be a great operator in say, a scripting language for a turn based game.
I am currently working on a DSL which actually does include a "back" operator! The language is used to describe simulated circuits, so you can inquire about the value a register had during a previous clock cycle.

#215>If you're unsure, that's ok. You can put a question mark at the end of a line instead. It prints debug info about that line to the console for you. Man, I love this idea. Imagine if in JavaScript, you could just add a `?` to a line to print out the value of all variables and expressions referenced. Or `?` on a line by itself to print out the value of all variables in scope. > DreamBerd has significant whitespace. Us…
