Static variables

Post by Nerey » 25 Feb 2015 13:51

I think, it would be great if I can create static variables - it looks like global variable, but can be used only in one flow
Maybe possible to create the same thing with group of flows - variable can be used only in this group
In that case global variables will be cleaned from unnecessary data and all the variables will be much more structurized

global_variables are good enough. Don't make it too complicated.

You can keep variables structurised simply by naming them relevantly.

Static variables and variable scope is a basic possibilities of every hight-level programming language
I think it is the best indicator of the need

1. Automagic is NOT a high-level programming language. It is an app to automate things
2. there is one developer of that app and a long feature list. What to do first? Improve thinks which have a (good) workaround or implement new features? I would prefer new features.

Does it mean that we should ignore all the experience from other fields even if Automagic is not a programming language as you say?

... so? It sounds like you have your own plans for Martin's work.
I should notice that you don't evaluate the main idea but bring here ideas from other topics. It's called offtop.
