<h2 class="chapter">3 Future aspects</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>As Enigma is right now, it is quite limited. The only way that it can
|
|
interact with the rest of one's system is by reading and writing files
|
|
and by executing shell commands using the <code>system</code> built-in
|
|
function. This obviously needs to be improved. A foreign function
|
|
interface system must be implemented in version 0.2. It should be
|
|
possible for Enigma to do everything C can.
|
|
|
|
<p>The number of built-in functions seems reasonable, but it may be a good
|
|
idea to implement a few more. These eventual functions should be focused
|
|
on making things easier. Specifically, an import function should be
|
|
considered. It is possible to create an import function in Enigma
|
|
directly, but it's not exactly fast. Introducing a “compile” function
|
|
should solve that.
