    Add error output to %File.RemoveDirectoryTree()

    The documentation for using RemoveDirectoryTree says that there is no output argument for returning a system error code. I would like to see one added, especially since the error output on other functions tends to be a %DynamicArray type which wou...

    Add Process Id to the Task Details page and allow stopping a task while running

    Currently, the Task Details page within the Task Manager doesn't show the process id of the Task while it is running neither allows the user to stop the task while it is running. Many times I've seen tasks running forever due to bugs, bad queries ...

    Enhance CREATE DATABASE by adding WITH INTEROP and WITH ANALYTICS options

    While it's very convenient to use the CREATE DATABASE command to quickly create a namespace with two databases suffixed with D for data and C for code, it would also be useful to add options to automatically make this namespace immediately availab...

    Superset language for ObjectScript

    With the coming of dynamic objects I feel that at this point we need something that ressembles TypeScript. So my suggestion is for having a superset language that can be transpiled to either classes or routines, whichever fits the bill. The idea i...

    Give Serial objects access to its parent

    Sometimes (often?) it's handy to get a reference to the parent object of a serial object.It can be done by a explicit Parent property and an Add method on the parent, but I think it should be there out-of-the-box. Btw: why isn't there a category O...
