I think Mars will be too busy implementing overloading of function
return types for you to do this as well.

Interesting question.
I remember someone on this nug mentioning a while back that PowerBasic
Produces very tight and speedy executables and was used by many
people in
science and engineering industries.
It would be cool if RB could be tune its compiler to run like a
"bat out of
hell" like PowerBasic apparently does. Now of course PowerBasic
doesn't do
OOP which is one reason why it can beat RB in speed.
Since one of your respondents atated he could only get to 2/3 of
the speed
of the equivalent FORTRAN code it would be great if the RB compiler
could be
"tuned" in this regard to make RB more appealing to the science
community.
For my own "two penneth" what would be really cool performance wise
would be
if RB could be made optimisable for DSP signal processing
applications. IE
to take advantage of and optimise for the Altivec and Core2 Due DSP
oriented
instruction sets where applicable. Maybe some language enhancements (
"hints" etc ) might help in this area too.

I'm a scientist (Behavioral Neuroscience) and have used REALbasic for
several years. While REALbasic certainly is not a traditional
scientific programming environment, I've found that I can be very
productive. I've been able to throw together useful tools in as
little as an hour and made applications for a surprising variety of
tasks.
My questions:
How large is the REALbasic scientific community?
What are others' thoughts on the strengths and weaknesses of
REALbasic as a scientific platform?
What should REALbasic, or its community, do to aid in cooperation
among science-oriented programmers?
