Do you have any plans on adding hashtables/dictionaries of any sort to the language? It seems to be above the cutting-off point for some other retro basics I've seen, like QB64. Perhaps it's too complicated to add, but they feel kinda like part of the bedrock of "scripty" languages these days, so it's something I'd definitely add if I was making a BASIC myself, but I understand that different folks take different tacks on stuff like this.
- hahajk 4y agoOne of my favorite parts of these simple languages is implementing more advanced data structures myself!
- jmmv 4y agoHadn’t thought about it at all, so no plans. But maybe? First I have to get to records and then we will see :)
- tgv 4y agoAWK has associative arrays, but no structs. It's a pretty useful language, although it has rather different use cases, of course.
