Constants

[Zen]

Will there be a way to define text constants? Like in other languages such as PHP and C++

Ive needed this feature quite a lot so it would be great if its implemented.

Thanks

Yes.  In C style.

#define MS_STRING "a string"

Give me a few more updates though

No problem. Just wanted to know if it was going to be part of the finished product. I can cope with using variables for the moment.

Also i know VirusScanner has asked and im interested too.... Macro's?

Thanks

Yeah, macros, string constants, enumerations, unions, variable and array initializers ( int x[5] = {1,2,3,4,5}; )
Just as long as they're a part of the final language. I'm hoping macros will make it, I understand though that you don't use them, but they are used in other languages with headers and such. They'd be useful when translating.
