What is the issue with "any" ?

since it coerces to any type, why not name it off as 'all' or 'object'?

It destroys any hope of type safety.

A function being able to take a float or an int and have no way of distinguishing between them is completely broken.

may I request the ability for methodmaps to overload operators or is that already a planned feature?

EDIT: Can I also request the support for UTF-32 so I can use Aramaic identifiers?

Operator overloading is not impossible to do in the current toolchain but it is not trivial either. Showing your use case will help.

Pawn should support Unicode strings (and I believe it already does), but identifiers and keywords will remain ASCII, as they do in most languages. Having "☃ �� = ��;" be a valid program is just too weird.

Can you at least make #define support unicode so it's possible to tokenize the keywords? I'd like to help my cousins learn sourcepawn.

And we're back to http://oldhome.schmorp.de/marc/bournegol.html again. Twice in two months, not a good sign.

( ͜。 ͡ʖ ͜。)

what I meant was something like this...

PHP Code:


			
#define עד    while
#define מניא  int
#define מדר   return

At least allow people like me to make foreign language versions of the keywords using #define, that way English readers can translate every token created by the #define to match the English keywords.

I fail to see how what you suggested counters what BAILOPAN stated.

asherkin · 11-13-2015 , 05:44 Re: New API and Syntax

You need to stop thinking of it as the word "while" and instead as the characters 'w', 'h', 'i', 'l', 'e' in that order.
