I realize extra code is needed to implement linked lists of objects, my question is whether we need to work that hard to handle chunks of data in LiveCode.
I may well simply misunderstand the role of his library. I had thought it was focused on working with data rather than objects, and if so it would seem a relatively simple matter of maintaining a pointer into a return-delimited chunk for the "next", "prev", etc. features he described, along with chunk expressions.
I hadn't considered the possibility of using theses lists to contain objects, though. Interesting idea, but I'm not sure how I'd use that. Seems to be a pattern with me today - time for better coffeee.... :)
