Re: [Oorexx-devel] Google's go easy thread creation using "go" ...

[Mike C. <mf...@sp...>]

But how much easier would this be, if routines in ooRexx would allow for
using "reply" (being executed in unguarded mode)?  
 
And why does it have to be a ::routine?   Why shouldn't any small piece of
Rexx code be allowed to do this?


Then one would be able to code the "go"-example 1:1 as:

call say "world", .true    

call say "hello", .false



::routine say

  use arg s, bOnNewThread

  if bOnNewThread then reply 

  do i=1 to 5

     call sysSleep .1

     say s

  end

It is easier to read and easier to code, and would allow to transcribe
go-programs that employ multihreading to ooRexx in an almost 1:1 fashion!
