Thanks to prolonged statistical and marketing-oriented analysis (mommy! can I have a cookie? i did poopoo on the coffee table!), I have come to the conclusion that the following enhancements are the top-5 ones that should be implemented, Nr. 1 being the most important one. 5. An automatic C-to-Eu and Eu-to-C mapping for function calls. 4. DLL compilation 3. Increased runtime execution speeds 2. Dynamic Interpretation 1. A way to port Euphoria programs to other currently not supported platforms, and to make enhancements to Euphoria ourselves without Rob's involvement. However, if Rob implements Nr. 1, he doesn't have to implement Nrs 5, 4, 3 and 2, since we can do it ourselves. So the easiest thing to do, if I were Rob atleast, would be to choose from one of the followng sollutions; 1. Add a Euphoria macro/scripting language to the interpreter and translator, wich allows us to add features not supported by RDS. 2. Compile a Portable Euphoria package containing only the interpreter and very basic, portable runtime routines, such as cos(), append(), etc. containing only ANSI C code, wich we can extend, optimize, embed and port to other platforms. 3. Add a way to port the source code produced by the translator to other platforms. He can pick one of these, or do both 2. and 3. It's better that he does one of these, and then nothing else, instead of just adding "prompt_name_age_location_sex()" or some shit like that to the interpreter and call it "Euphoria 2.3" or some shit like that. Then next year he adds "poke8()" and calls it "Euphoria 2.4". (note: I'm being sarcastic) Wich one would you like to see the most? Realy? Mike The Spike
