One of the main reasons I implemented send and call with params in the PR that
has been mentioned is because it allows for referenced parameters. The
following is an error:
on mouseUp
local tBar
send “foo tBar” to me
answer tBar
end mouseUp
on foo @rBar
put “Howdy" into rBar
end
ever since I learned that you can pass a whole array using the send command
the dispatch doesn't seem that much more convenient at all..i do alot of in
time commands so this is very convenient to my needs / style
send "mymessage myarray" to this stack
for years I thought using this form

Yeah, that's a double-edged doohickey, though. I *do* use it that
I like the dispatch form, separating parameters out from the command. The
reason is given stepping into this code,
send "test ha" to button 1
I cannot point to the variable "ha" and see the value it contains. But if,
dispatch "test" to button 1 with ha
I can. I only use send anymore when I
Probably the “in time” variant along with parity.
The PR also opens up sending to widget handlers which is what I’m waiting for.

Is there a benefit to adding parameters to send? Or does this just bring it
into parity/redundancy with dispatch?

If you have multiple parameters, dispatch is easier, cleaner, and safer. So
even if I don't have parameters, unless I need a time delay I use dispatch.
Also, you can use dispatch function to call functions.

Dispatch is awesome. The only time I use 'send' any more is when I need
the 'in time' form.

I’m finding it’s best to do this when you “send” and have a parameter:
send “test ha” to button 1
