I think some object-oriented features are necessary to expand the language without knowledge of C. Without the ability to add libraries that way it won't...
OK, so what OO features do you think will be necessary? By adding libraries do you mean adding third party libraries or creating libraries in Mattathais? Or...

How should this class definition work? Class ADD_INT Procedure ADD[A, B] C = A + B End Proc[C] End Class Is "Procedure" a proper word in a class? Should we...

... (numerical) variables presumed to be floating point, as opposed to integers, unless specified otherwise? A class is difficult to explain. AMOS doesn't...

... One thing to consider in this case is that sdlBasic is an interpreted environment and had compiling bolted on as an afterthought. Since Mattathias is a...

... Then another question is if the procedures should be defined in-line (as above and in languages like C# or Java) or if the class should just define the...
... I agree. I guess I wasn't really asking if there should be public data, but rather if we should introduce a new keyword for use in a class. But really,...

I guess this would raise the question about whether we should update the Def Fn method of implementing functions on Basic. After all, this would seem to be...
The Def Fn command works pretty much like a #define macro in C or C++. Its usefulness is limited to expressions. It's very simple and changing it would blur...
I think having to copy a get method into a local variable such as this would defeat some of the purpose of the black-box read-only nature of encapsulating...

It just occured to me that AMOS extension allow functions to return values directly like C does. How would we implement Amos-compatibility extensions without...
You're correct. And it's not just in extensions. The core language allows functions (cos(), str(), etc.) to return values. But there is no precedent for...
I vote for option 2. It may be similar to Pascal or COMAL but it is necessary to be able to create compatible extensions for Mattathias in Mattatias. ...
