I assume @ syntax is not multi-threaded regardless of looking like Wrangle VEX code?

Is one faster than the other or is it just for unification?

Is it also backwards compatible with pre-H15 releases?

I tested using Attribute Create Sop, @ is little slower than $.

Could you be more specific about what you tested, in case there's an issue? I'm mildly skeptical, but there might be something unforseen at play.

The @ syntax for local variables is only in H15.

Local variable expressions cannot be multi-threaded. There's currently a single “current point”, “current primitive”, and “current vertex” variable for SOP expression evaluation, so there can't be expression evaluations for multiple elements at the same time.

Thanks guys.

That was my guess as well, it makes things nicer so I am all for using it.
