Exiting news for all you coders out there: you can now include code from other objects at run-time.
"Its like the code soup that is all objects code can now have more code poured into it, stirred up, and run as a whole" beamed wolis as he went looking for a butternut squash (pumpkin?) to make soup with.
It appears as if this has little effect on the running speed of objects code. Mind you, you would rather have one object with a whole bunch of code in it that you include once, rather than having that same code split up into 10 smaller code objects and including each of the 10 objects in turn.
Im sure a common library of code blocks can exist happily in cow as one object, or two, for everyone to use and share and document well.
Other news today, wolis decided to do a bit of a cleanup of lost objects. "Any object that contains no other objects and is not located in an existing object was deleted" confirmed wolis. "There were about a thousand of these little things floating around without a home."
We understand that many good and strong backups have been made and burn and chiseled into granite so these can all be restored to good health if needed. "I expect some archival cows may pop up from time to time so people can see what cow was like in the old days.. say May 2004 for example" speculated wolis.
This does leave about 80 lost objects which _do_ contain other objects..and deleting them, would then make more lost objects etc etc..
Some bright spark will find a way to solve this problem.. but for now, they remain out of sight until a nice list can be posted up of these poor objects.
