Hey Rob! I was noticing, euphoria is missing something REALLY nice. It would be nothing short of AWESOME if you could implement a reset procedure. I.e.:
include win32lib.ew -- code creation stuff procedure restart_onClick(integer self, integer event, sequence params) reset() -- Exw does any internal cleanup routines --(as tho i had exited out of the program) -- and then reloads the program from the files -- on the hard drive and begins execution end procedure setHandler(restart, w32HClick, routine_id("restart_onClick")) WinMain(Window1,Normal)
That would be really nice. It would also be nice if you could come up with SOME way of getting pointers to existing variables. I would also like define(sequence x, sequence whattype), isdefined(sequence x), and setval(sequence x, object val). This would allow for: 1.) Defining a variable by name of the var and name of the type, 2.) Testing to see if a variable has been defined, and 3.) Setting the value of a variable based on name. What do you think?

THis would be especially helpfull in a crash handeler. This isnt hard to do ina library, in fact, I have just made an example library that can do this: http://64.78.109.136:48620/Restart_E067F.zip (Link copyed, not typed, to avoid speling misteaks...) I might submit it to the archive later. > > I.e.: > > }}} <eucode> > include win32lib.ew > -- code creation stuff > > procedure restart_onClick(integer self, integer event, sequence params) > reset() -- Exw does any internal cleanup routines > --(as tho i had exited out of the program) > -- and then reloads the program from the > files > -- on the hard drive and begins execution > end procedure > setHandler(restart, w32HClick, routine_id("restart_onClick")) > > WinMain(Window1,Normal) > </eucode> {{{ > > That would be really nice.

Pointers are convenient in specific cases, but if you let them into the language, it will inevitably lead to harder to understand programs. Pointers are to data what goto is to code. Even when they aren't being used, you still have to be on the lookout for them. I like the fact that a variable's value can only change through direct assignment, not in some indirect, non-obvious way. > I would also like > define(sequence x, sequence whattype), isdefined(sequence x), and > setval(sequence x, object val). > This would allow for: > 1.)

I don't want to introduce fancy, highly-dynamic features that can't be handled by the Translator. I put a lot of work into that Translator.
