Include HashTable and Facade?

[G33kDude]

We would love to include your fantastic libraries!

I am in favor of introducing a new "Data Structures and Algorithms" section into which we could put HashTable, Facade, and the existing LibCrypt library (currently in Math, it's a collection of hashing and encryption algorithm implementations).

Does anyone else have thoughts on the matter?

On that note, I am considering releasing backports of v2's "is" operator as a function (and without the support for testing if a parameter is byref) and Type function (it should be exactly the same except it cannot detect "0" is a string, unlike in v2). I will be happy to release them as stand-alone libraries if there is interest.

I have no idea where they should go, other than somewhere under "Libraries". I can't even use computer science textbooks as a guide here. What I use them for is error handling (reporting if something is the wrong type because in v1 errors are usually silent, which upsets me) and dispatching (send values of one type to this code and another type to other code). "Type Checking" maybe?

I would consider these 'stable', by the way. What they do is pretty simplistic, and they do seem to work correctly.

Nothing to oppose from me. 👍

I uploaded the type checking code here: https://github.com/Shambles-Dev/AutoHotkey-Type_Checking
