like being able to do

def initialize *args
super *args # picks the right constructor [!]
puts ‘all of them do this’
end

but with…type safety of course LOL

there should be no difference between
super
and
super()
like ruby has. yikes

def initialize parent
@parent = parent
end

condense?
def initialize_save(parent, some_other_param_with_matching_instance_arg);

2fps = UNITS/2
SyntaxError: (irb):2: syntax error, unexpected tIDENTIFIER, expecting $end
2fps = UNITS/2

why not allow for 2fps?

kind of liking having

“you declare either a macro or code, and the macro can be evaluated/cause recompilation at runtime” []

“mark” methods as “side effect free” ooo

warn on truly useless calls, like

streamRef.getTape();

kind of liking “actors”

a = Actor.new

return_object = a.later.go(3)

return_object = a.after.go(44) # or by default run after ‘later’ anyway

return_object.join

with thread pools, etc.

kind of like how eventmachine *should* pass things off to pools
