Yes, the 'java' function was deliberately limited to a few basic types, mainly for performance reasons, as we cannot arbitrarily extend the type checking if/else sequence. On the other hand, you are right in that the floating point values would be rather useful. Also, the 'native' function of PicoLisp, which somehow corresponds to the 'java' function, supports double and float arguments too. So I followed your suggestion, and added the checks for 'Double' and 'Float'. Also, I added a 'float:' function for type conversions, and extended http://picolisp.com/5000/!wiki?ersatzreflection accordingly. Many thanks for the input! As a whole, I think this is a good and necessary extension! ♪♫ Alex -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:[email protected]?subject=Unsubscribe
