All that said what would YOU like to see REAL do to reach out to this community ?

In order to 'reach out' in a credible way, RS should start by implementing some core features and fixing some long standing bugs that engineering/scientific programmers would appreciate. Expansion of the integer data type was a step in the right direction. Here are some fairly routine items lacking in Rb that RS could implement in supporting engineering/scientific activity, at least bringing Rb into parity with VB6 in this regard. I'm sure there are other items that should be included:


OK.
All worthwhile BUT those are things that many of the communities that RB serves can find value in.

Some are soluble in a module for the short term (values for Pi, e, etc)
I think everyone has their own set of modules hacks and workarounds that populate projects and this would be no different

Some are issues ONLY REAL can solve (display of doubles in the IDE)
Bug reports and votes are what get noticed
