Yes, long-term. I’d also wish to add multi-dimensional arrays and JSON
{,de}serialisation in the same go, to avoid touching that code twice,
and the language implications are a bit tricky, spare time is also
always rare while working full-time, and other bugs are always more
important… :/

Use assockit.ksh from shellsnippets if you need it now. It scales
decently and is in productive use, even though it’s only prototyped.

Assoc. arrays in mksh

2020-07-06 Thread KPECT
Hello.
Are you still planning to to implement associative arrays in mksh? This feature 
has been long awaited since 2011, but so far there are no actions.
Best regards,
Sergey.
