Hi Kassen!
I wanted to have a static array of strings within a public class. This turns out not to be allowed yet but there is hope; instead of a plain error I got a hint;
"cannot declare static non-primitive ojects (yet) (hint; declare as ref (@) and initialise outside for now)"
Oh no. You've stumbled upon the disaster within a disaster. The bigger disaster, of course, is that static variables don't work properly yet (you have to initialize Objects outside the class). The nested disaster within that is because strings are treated as primitives in parts of the type-checker, and as objects in others. This is a priority bug but is dependent on garbage collection. Yikes. So, for now, no static strings. You would need a wrapper to achieve the same effect. class StupidHack { string m_str; } public class X { static StupidHack @ our_hack; } new StupidHack @=> X.our_hack; "hello" @=> X.our_hack.m_str; Very very sorry about this... Doh. Best, Ge!
