Hi,
I've thought about writing a highly object-oriented language (you know,
everything is an object ...) for Neko (maybe like Python). But I
stumbled upon the problem that the elementar data types in Neko
(integers, float, strings ..) are not real objects (because of
performance reasons maybe?), so I can't set slots on them. I can think
of two ways of handling that in a object-oriented language: Either I use
the Neko data types and the my language -> neko compiler translates
method calls on strings to calls to Neko built-in functions with the
string as first argument (that's a bit complicated ;-)) - or I create
wrapper types, but then I'd get the problem that I can't easily use Neko
extensions in the language itself (because then Neko <-> Mylanguage data
type conversions would be necessary).
Maybe I have overlooked another way of handling that? What would you
suggest?
Would be nice if anybody had an idea for that :-)
Regards,
Friedrich
