If you could change one thing about GScript, what would it be?

  My current hack around this is, given a function temp.f, doing (@temp.f)(), which casts the function pointer to a string like "function_913727", which is a global variable and can be called from anywhere as a result.

• When a class using anonymous functions is updated, most things break until you update the NPC/Weapon that they are joined to.

• More of a feature request than a bug, but it'd be great if we had proper function closures.

Mainly this. There's also this:

PHP Code:

function onCreated() {
  temp.func = myTest();
  (@ temp.func)();

  myOtherTest(function () {
    echo("yeah baby");
  });
}

function myTest() {
  return function () {
    echo("yeah baby");
  };
}

function myOtherTest(func) {
  (@ func)();
} 


Produces the following:

Script compiler output for *scratch*:
error: unexpected token: function at line 3: myOtherTest(function () {
error: unexpected token: ( at line 3: myOtherTest(function () {
error: unexpected token: ) at line 3: myOtherTest(function () {
error: unexpected token: ) at line 5: });
error: unexpected token: function at line 13: return function () {
error: unexpected token: ( at line 13: return function () {
error: unexpected token: ) at line 13: return function () {

It doesn't seem right to me.
