One of my main requests would be to change the type declaration from pascal-style to c-style, or at least to allow both variants as much as possible without making the implementation ambiguous. For a more in-depth discussion of this point, see the part titled "Type Declaration" in [1]. There are three main reason for this being A Good Thing(tm) in my view: 1. Porting Java and C code would be easier 2. ability to declare multiple typed variables in one line (e.g. var Integer x, y, z) 3. looks waaay prettier Other things I'd really like to see (in no particular order): - method/ constructor overloading - operator overloading (way less important than method overloading, IMHO) - C#-style Event dispatching/ handling (I _really_ don't like ECMAScript-style event handling) cheers, till _______________________________________________ osflash mailing list [email protected] http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/osflash_osflash.org
