I'd like to know which aspects of Phix that you, or others, would like to see implemented in OpenEu. So far I've heard of two ...
- Multiple core support
- Boolean tests in conditional expressions. eg. if Seq1 = Seq2 then ... This currently fails in OpenEu
As far I know, it is Pete's choice not to work on OpenEu project.
Some of the features Pete mentioned (at http://openeuphoria.org/forum/m/117059.wc) would be cool in OE too:
- Named parameters, eg message_box(title:="title", text:="text", style:=MB_OK) works the same as message_box("text","title",MB_OK)
- Direct comparison (eg if name="pete" then)
- Variable length slice assignment (eg s="food" s[2..3]="e"; s is now "fed")
And, of course, if Seq1 = Seq2 then would also be very much appreciated.
Other features that he mentioned somewhere else are related to readability: introducing := for assignments and == for comparisons, while still retaining =, so the code will not be broken.
All improvements to readability, in general, should be welcome to Open Euphoria, I believe.
