Hm, you are indeed eating peas with a knife, by choice - but i wouldn't dare stand between your knife and the peas.

It will be best indeed if RokuCo adds line continuation character to the language akin to http://www.vbexplorer.com/VBExplorer/tips/src33.asp
Something like, when lexer/tokenizer encounters (pardon my regex) \s(_([ \t]*'.*)?\n) - replace it with a single whitespace and chug along. Except they need to consider how line counting is affected.

PS. Regarding type-checking, how's that working in Javascript? I am with you in B/S but use shorter descriptive names (consider this OSHA mandate) and don't add "as dynamic", that's the default.
PPS. i looked it up

I keep asking for it, and they keep turning me down. Doug Crockford has a restraining order against me.

I've done it all my life
People think it's funny
But it keeps them on my knife

just to throw in my $/50, I was looking for this earlier as well, and could not locate anything, so I had to break up the lines programmatically.


I think the compiler has changed recently, though, because the compiler seems to happily handle lines over 1000 characters now. (not that you could read them, but they can exist without killing the compile)

@Roku* -
still no line continuation char in B/S?

Needed it today, tried and "_" at EOL still does not extend to next line, nor does unfinished expression (e.g. `x + y +`) auto-continue to next line. I can work around this but thought i'll ask if something has changed lately on this

[RokuKC]

No, there isn't any line continuation support currently. The feature request is noted.

Sorry, it is still on the backlog.

Hello! I am starting with Roku (and brightscript). It might be a great idea to do it the same way Python does: https://developer.rhino3d.com/guides/rhinopython/python-statements/#:~:text=You%20cannot%20split%20a...
