Hello there, again

    1.) Does anybody have a Guestimate when GENERICS will be implemented

    2.) More important, fo my instant work in progress:

Most probably the standardized extended regular expressions as in grep would be used.

Hi Kenneth, 

these are a different kind of generics, like discussed here: Generics in Java - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

We have no workable design for this yet. In 3.01 there will not even be the support for Rexx type in Collection classes that Kermit started - we are not sure yet it is the right way; and it is incomplete as it is. This work might lead to a 'syntax-less' kind of generics in 3.02 - but I am working on a design for that needs discussion first.

best regards,

René Jansen.

Thanks a lot for the Link, Rene!

I think it might be useful to start this discussion now!
(personal opinion, of course).

And: I think we should do it here, so that the conclusion(s) we come up are
readily accepted by all current NetRexx Users, which are most probably in this grooup, by now.

Thomas.
