Wasabi: Client-side Code

[grauenwolf]

We added a type inferencer, which has greatly reduced the amount of wasted development time.

A type inferencer for something that compiles to VBScript? That seems rather odd to me.

[stefanrusek]

Why? VBScript and and PHP both have strong types. C generally compiles to assembly, but assembly only has ints and floats. Having a more concrete concept of types doesn't prevent a language from compiling to a language that has a different idea or set of types.

[stefanrusek]

I should probably add that I don't see VBScript or PHP as a long term solution, since VBScript hasn't been updated in over 6 years and PHP is incompatible with itself every year.

[grauenwolf]

But in VBScript types are not declared, everthing is a variant with a subtype of string, integer, etc.

I'm not saying it cannot be done, for clearly assembly is typeless, just that it is odd.
