multithreading, 64-bit support
I agree with that, and first priority.
But screw 3d, screw gui, and screw any other new/updated official modules. All that can be achieved by us, if it hasn't already.
Gui: wxWidgets. Spend an actual day at it, brilliant stuff.
3d: ........look around lol. There's already tons of great 3d engines out there that are far ahead of this 'max3d'. Reinvent the wheel a bit why dont we.
Ide: blide..
I think we need updates that we can't possibly make ourselves to blitz, instead of mark wasting his time on alternatives.
If you are not making games then BM is the wrong language for you anyway.
With all the 3rd party modules that have floated to the surface (especially and mainly by Brucey imho), i'm pretty sure that's not true. For the other blitz products maybe, unless you're getting at something else.
