Greetings, fearless leader!<br><br>Sorry, I haven't been very active in chuck-users lately. <br><br>But I have been continuing to ChucK.<br><br>My current list of desiderata:<br><br>things that make the language more flexible-
<br><br>1. like closures / anonymous blocks ( as mentioned on the wiki )<br> a. would allow things like collection operations as in Smalltalk:<br><br> <<<[0, 1, 2, 3, 4].do( { int a | a * a } )>>><br>
[0, 1, 4, 16]<br><br> b. <br> <br> c. would simplify expressions for number 2, hooks into the language<br><br>2. hooks into basic language behavior<br><br> a. for example, array indexing<br><br> b. also, otf commands - shred operations
<br><br> it would be nice to have callbacks for shred birth and death.<br> Then you could use the callback to make fade-ins and outs<br> even from gui actions, as in the audicle or miniAudicle.<br><br> 3. syntactic sugar
<br><br> a more terse way of doing globals, without having to declare a new class<br><br> 4. easy stuff<br><br> Shred aShred; aShred.isRunning()<br><br>Graham<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 8/8/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">

<br>to coordinate with you on organizing and prioritizing some bug fixes/<br>features/updates. We've been scouring through the forums, wiki<br>pages, and posts and collected much good info. Thanks to all who<br>have been kind and patient enough to enter requests, reports, and
<br>suggestions into the various pages. At this stage, we'd like to get<br>your input on prioritizing them for the new release (in about 2<br>weeks). For this purpose, we've created two new wiki pages for<br>feature requests/reports and bug reports/requests from here:

http://wiki.cs.princeton.edu/index.php/ChucK/Features
</a><br><br>Please enter full descriptions and concise accompanying code when<br>helpful. While we can't guarantee that these would make it into the<br>immediate next version, they are very helpful in getting a sense of
<br>disaster zones that needs more urgent attention, and is a chance to<br>tidy up the information. If you don't want to deal with the wiki<br>directly, feel free to post here or to chuck-dev, and our uh wiki<br>specialists will transfer the text there.
<br><br>As for the manual, let's keep going here:<br><br> <a href="http://wiki.cs.princeton.edu/index.php/ChucK/Manual" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://wiki.cs.princeton.edu/index.php/ChucK/Manual
