Hi All,
I'm currently in the process of writing a compiler for
ActionScript 3.0.
(In case you're interested, the "development snapshot" at
http://www.swftools.org/download.html already contains
a pre-alpha command-line tool, called as3compile(.exe))
Now, I'm thinking about adding an "extended mode" to this
compiler, which will support some additional convenience
features which are not currently part of the ECMA spec.
Right now, ideas on my list are things like [a,b,c,] or
{a:b, c:d, e:f, } array/object declarations (allowing the
trailing comma makes it easier to shift elements around
especially for multi-line structures), try/catch/else,
for/else, and keyword arguments (functioncall(x=3,y=4)).
I'd be interested to know what other syntax extensions you
can think of that would make life easier for you when
you're writing ActionScript?
Greetings
Matthias
