Planned Features

Features that are planned to be implemented in the future.

• Dead code elimination
  • Eliminate unused anonymous functions
• Dynamic modules
  • A system by which the public interface of a module can be specified
  • Instances of a dynamic module can be loaded at runtime
  • Enabled things from simple config files to game mods
• System APIs
  • UDP Sockets
    • &udpb to bind a socket
    • &udpc to connect a socket?
    • &udpr to receive data from a socket
      • Returns both data and source address
    • &udps to send data to a socket
      • Takes both data and destination address
    • Change &tcpsnb, &tcpsrt, &tcpswt to work for UDP sockets as well
      • Rename them
  • File metadata
    • &fmeta to get metadata about a file
    • Should somehow provide:
      • size
      • kind (file, directory, symlink)
      • create/modify/access times
      • permissions
    • It's possible this should be multiple functions
      • &fsize
      • &fkind
      • &ftime
      • &fperm

Potential Features

Features that could be implemented, but are not currently planned.

• Channels
• Multimedia
  • WEBP
  • Media window
    • A place for &ims, &gifs, etc to display stuff
  • Sound input
    • Something akin to &ast but for input
    • &arec to record audio for some duration
      • Maybe it should be a modifier that records until its function returns false?

Open to Implementation

These features are not strictly on the roadmap, but PRs that implement them will likely be accepted.

Feel free to make PRs to the list itself as well.
