Syntax Additions

[MaxClass]

Bernd,

Thank you for all your hard work putting Objective-Basic together and for all those who assisted you in doing so.

As a user of Basic on Mac systems since 1985 and Basic since 1978 I have seen the ever growing and evolution of the Basic language into what it has become today.

Since we are dealing here with a language (Objective-Basic) that is ultimately converting the code into Objective-C and letting the gcc compiler do the dirty work for us I would like to propose the following additions to Objective-Basic.

I would like to see comments as defined in C, C++ and Objective-C, etc. be allowed within the language since it is such an integral part of Objective-C and allowed within many existing Basic languages also.

Allow /* This as a valid comment */

and, // This is also another valid comment [to end of line]

Thanks for listening.

Thanks for your comments.

In future versions, it will be possible to mix Objective-C and Objective-Basic code within the same code file. So having comments as you mentioned above make absolutely sense. They will come in future versions.
