Message: [QUOTE="Michael Bruschkewitz, post: 4640493"] I dont really understand this sentence (too much indirection - I'm german and I'm tired...) Did you mean "It must be strictly optional" ? Maybe any code in any language should be stored in some generic form meta language (we would have enough space to store it now - car crysis left enough oil to create magnetic tapes) and the _Editor_ provides the view which best fits to the current developer. (Example: translate keyword to japanese signs, direction of writing a.s.o.) Editor could also apply current coding rules. The would increase code safety and security, and efficiency. It would even allow GUI's for creating code from/by Flowcharts. I'm really serious. This would be really a revolutionary improvement. (Removing most reasons for current holy wars and create a huge field for new, interesting ones.) But these backbone language would not be Ruby. Also, IMHO, PyI wouldt break principle of least surprise. At breakfast I had the idea it would be possible to implement/apply it to current file it by simply using "require 'tool4endH8ers.rb'" or "require 'languageConverter_pyi.rb'" or "require 'languageConverter_BASIC.rb'" or "require 'languageConverter_f77.rb'" or... "require 'applySomeOtherWeirdOptions.rb'" or... at the beginning of each file or at the beginning of main file. I'm sure some Kernel.magic would make this possible. Why not think about providing a mechanism which provides this possibility? Regards, Michael B. [/QUOTE]
