Hash Arrays

Well I've recently found a liking to Ruby and it's hash arrays. It would be really rad if we had them in GS2. Hash rockets ftw.

Theory usage:

PHP Code:


		
			
function onCreated() {

  temp.noises = {

    "cat" => "meow",

    "dog" => "woof",

    "manbearpig" => "rawr",

    "algore" => "im super serial guise"

  };

  temp.data = {

    :ip => "127.0.0.1",

    :port => 8080

  };

  echo(temp.noises["cat"]); // would echo "meow"

  echo(temp.data[:ip]); // would echo "127.0.0.1"

}

Wow, that's pretty awesome. I support this suggestion.

Given how long we've requested associative arrays for.... >_<

Aye. Doubt we'll get it.

I agree with this and I have done since it was last requested but was given this explanation in a round about way...

Graal has dynamic variable names so you can achieve similar results using objects.

Maybe Stefan could just real-time translate child objects to work with an associative array syntax. Lua kind of does it as well:

NPC Code:

local arr = { x = 30, y = 40 };

print(arr["x"] .. ", " .. arr.y); -- "30, 40"

I like that idea! I think I'm gonna have to go try Lua out sometime soon, to be honest >_<

Eeewwww, Perl. Lua or Python syntax = way better ;)
I guess the issue why it's never done is because Stefan is entirely too lazy to change anything that involved the syntax, rather than just adding a function or object.
