    Very good, very useful.

    Re: twinBASIC Programming Features documentation

    I really need to get on finishing that... everything is listed (that I know of, I just found another new feature left off the list last week after starting that like 6mo ago-- binary literals, &B010101)... but down by the bottom it's still just the list without lengthier explanation.

    If anyone wants to write the sections on generics and Implements Via, those are incomplete because I don't really understand the syntax and usage enough to write a good explanation and I've been hoping someone else would at least pick those two up. If you do you can send it to me to post; I have write access.

    Re: twinBASIC Programming Features documentation

    I've read the documentation several times now and each time I become increasingly excited about the prospects of TwinB as a replacement for VB6. Looking forward to using it in anger.

    Fafalone has added sections to the new features list on array destructuring, enumid for guids, and an example of generics.
