Quote:I'm all for new keywords and features added to the language. My main computer (which is 6 years old now) has plenty of power for anything added to the language. My point being that so what if the compiled size of the code gets a little bigger with each additional feature? Computers only get faster and new QB64 features can take advantage of that. If someone wants less "bloat" they can always fork the project and remove it. The use of a metacommand would be a terrible idea.
I would note that QB64 already avoids compiling in things you don't use, so generally speaking most new language features (whatever they are) won't have much of an impact on existing programs that don't make use of them. There are some exceptions if the functionality overlaps with something already in the language but that that's the general idea.
