Greetings, fearless leader!

Sorry, I haven't been very active in chuck-users lately.

But I have been continuing to ChucK.

My current list of desiderata:

things that make the language more flexible-

1. like closures / anonymous blocks ( as mentioned on the wiki )
  a. would allow things like collection operations as in Smalltalk:

   <<<[0, 1, 2, 3, 4].do( { int a | a * a } )>>>
   [0, 1, 4, 16]

  b.
 
  c. would simplify expressions for number 2, hooks into the language

2. hooks into basic language behavior

  a. for example, array indexing

  b. also, otf commands - shred operations

   it would be nice to have callbacks for shred birth and death.
   Then you could use the callback to make fade-ins and outs
   even from gui actions, as in the audicle or miniAudicle.

 3. syntactic sugar

   a more terse way of doing globals, without having to declare a new class

 4. easy stuff

   Shred aShred; aShred.isRunning()

Greetings!

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

     http://wiki.cs.princeton.edu/index.php/ChucK/Bugs
     http://wiki.cs.princeton.edu/index.php/ChucK/Features

Please enter full descriptions and concise accompanying code when
helpful.  While we can't guarantee that these would make it into the
immediate next version, they are very helpful in getting a sense of
disaster zones that needs more urgent attention, and is a chance to
tidy up the information.  If you don't want to deal with the wiki
directly, feel free to post here or to chuck-dev, and our uh wiki
specialists will transfer the text there.

As for the manual, let's keep going here:

      http://wiki.cs.princeton.edu/index.php/ChucK/Manual

Thank you very much!  Let us know if you have any questions.

Keep on ChucKin'

Best,
chuck team
