Rob,
Threads would be absolutely awesome in Euphoria, even if people use
single instance (single thread) more often. Dynamic variable routines
like, variable_id(), read_var(), write_var() would be great too.
A version() routine would be nice also just because most other languages
have such a feature.
Ohh.. By the way, there is a bug in the PD source, Liquid Nitrogen has
discovered it while testing the source with his Squid Blaster game, that
doesnt exist in the official Euphoria. It seems to be an "sequence subscript
of bounds" issue, and is very rare in that I couldnt get the problem to
show up with my tests on other programs.
I could send you the error report to help you out, I'm also trying to figure
it out also.
Thanks,
Vincent
Euphoria v2.5 Rocks!!!
