Yeah, but with a different meaning.

GridFlow's @ was "at" as in "array", as in Perl, but it was used as a
prefix for grid-processing class names instead of as prefix of variables 
of array type.

Jitter's @ is "at" as in "attribute", as in Ruby, but it's used as
keyword-arguments instead of as prefix of variables of instance scope.

Jitter's equivalent of GridFlow's "@" and "#" in classnames is the "jit." 
prefix (but not exactly so)

Jitter's equivalent of GridFlow's "#" inside lists is... inexistent (?)

GridFlow's equivalent of Jitter's "@" is "," where applicable.
