To Bernie: I guess I didn't up it to RDS since NQA, in it's current state, isn't really useful for any serious programming. Release 3 might be, whenever it'll be finished. Resources sounds like an interesting idea. I haven't looked into how they work myself. To Mike: >1. What sort of numerical data types should be there? Only integer >(signed 32-bit) and real (double precision floats)? Should be enough. >3. Would 1-d arrays and lists of character strings be enough? Could be a bit tedious with not n-dimensional in real-world applications. >4. Should it support cdecl? Why not? It's not "harder" than stdcall in any way, just different. >5. Type conversion - implicit or explicit? Explicit for speed, implicit for elegance, i suppose. >7. What sort of notation could be used to access arrays? structures? [] for arrays and . for structures are the most common. >8. Forward references? Sure. >9. Control structures other than: if, for, while ? Switch-case maybe. >11. Anything else? COFF object/library compliance.
