Is it possible to introduce another feature
Syntax
Q: Are you going to implement the SELECT/CASE
statements?
A: No. The IF
statement does it very well on multiple condition. And it's also possible to put invokable objects in a dict
to make a conditional executing table. Or use an alternative SELECT
routine.
Q: Do you have any plan for concurrency?
A: Yes. But I won't add it to this code base, I might be going to implement it in another extension library. Very possible including coroutine and asynchronous IO operations.
Q: Is it possible to do error/exception handling elegantly?
A: Yes. It supports SEH with a TRY
statement implementation.
Scripting API
Q: Is it possible to add more BASIC API?
A: The goal of such a compact library is to be as small as possible, and easy to extend. So I won't add heavy functions to the code base. There're already a few modules available on the Wiki pages, some in C and some in MY-BASIC itself. They'd be also good demonstrations which you could start with writing your own modules.

For more information about writing your own BASIC functions, see the "Customizing MY-BASIC/Writing scripting API" section in the MY-BASIC Quick Reference.
Feel free to open an issue if you get any good idea.
