I mean I know we can just work around not using an SQL database or make slow bignum libraries, though some form of binary reading, writing, and modification would be really helpful for creating databases, compressors, and using binary files (modifying image files ingame...). I guess it would probably be a stupid-ish idea to forget strings like that, though providing an object that lets us use binary files/sockets and lets us modify the binary and convert it into base64/etc would be so helpful. Oh and putting in some bignum functions would also be nice for the people doing cryptography. --- End quote --- I wasn't suggesting you convert to JavaScript in blockland to write add-ons. Given SQL is already a third party program, you could easily write an intermediate program that would take data from Blockland and package it SQL style and ship it over to SQL, then do the same in reverse. To actually incorporate a bignum library into the language, every single mathematical function in the entirety of Torque would have to be converted to using a different datatype than i32. The things you want to be done to Torque would require massive overhauls of how the engine works. |
