A few old ones that I'd still like to see
  • Compile to bytecode (tokenize)
  • Accept piped input (data)
  • Accept piped input (script code)
  • Static variable declaration for function and file scopes
  • Native calendar functions (date and time)
  • Support for binary i/o
  • Support for binary data types
  • Assign and pass variables by reference
  • Set/return console attributes (esp. height and width)
  • Peek/Poke console attributes (character, colours)
  • "Color" to accept alternative parameters, e.g. numeric and/or variables
  • @COLOR to return current colour settings
Ok, so some of those are not old ones [Wink]
