Issue #110 has been reported
http://code.google.com/p/openbluedragon/issues/detail?id=110&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Owner%20Summary
Both Coldfusion and Railo have implemented the use of shorthand array and
struct notation and it would be great if OpenBD could follow suite. To
demonstrate how useful they can be, consider this array of structures:
Array=[{ID=9999, Title='not used title', DateCreated='not used
date'},{ID=Post1.getID(),
Title=Post1.getTitle(),DateCreated=Post1.getDateCreated()}];
Without shorthand notation, the preceding single line of pretty code has to
be replaced with:
Array=ArrayNew(1);
Array[1]=StructNew();
Array[1].ID=9999;
Array[1].Title='not used title';
Array[1].DateCreated='not used date';
Array[2]=StructNew();
Array[2].ID=Post1.getID();
Array[2].Title=Post1.getTitle();
Array[2].DateCreated=Post1.getDateCreated();
The latter is much more verbose, less readable and doesn't fit in line
with OpenBD's RAD goals.
If you are into typing less and doing more, please vote for this issue! :)
