when considering the debug solutions, I would personally like to have the ability (like you currently can with MTASC) to point to a proprietary debug app/class/method as well as having any specialized functionality available to 3rd party debuggers (like Xray, Flash Inspector etc). But rather than me having to include special classes in my classes with specialized calls, simply make your trace method accept multiple arguments and pass along the information you currently have (line number, class, method etc).
I haven't read the spec, I'm sorry, doing so NOW!
Thanks Nicolas, I don't know what to really think about a new language, but I have to say, it's a VERY exciting project to see develop!

ok, because you asked, i'm going to let the wells run. i'd like to see
support for reflection type features. for functions i'd like be able to
access that function scope. so for example if you are in one function
and call another function you can access the scoped variables in the
first function. i'd like functions to have a name property as well like,
myfunction.name returns "myfunction". i'd like functions to have an
absolute path type of property like, myfunction.path returns
"myclass.myfunction". functions also have count property that increments
each time it has been called. i'd also like a this statement for
functions. like when you are in a function you access thisFunk to access
the function. so when you are in a function called calculateIt you could
do thisFunk.name and it would return "calculateIt". maybe this,
thisClass and thisFunction.
i'd like all strings to have a isTrue(), isFalse(), isNumber(),
isLetter(), isGreaterThan(), isEmail(), isCapitialized() members,etc.
myString.toPhone(), myString,replace(), myString.toDate ("/,
mm,dd,yyyy"), myString.upperCaseFirstLetter() etc.
things to make repetitive stuff easy. also, like formatters and
validations built in. how AWESOME would that be?!!?!? frigging awesome,
that's what.
overloading would be great too! :)
