Object based/oriented IDL ? Ever likely ? [message #5975]

I am very impressed with a number of features of IDL. However, I think
that its lacking support for structure (primarily data structures) due to
its historical affiliation with Fortran (no flames please). This weakness
becomes noticable when you reach a 3,000+ line application (IMHO).

I think that a version of IDL using object based/oriented technology would
be immensely powerful and would reach a far wider audience. Is there a
desire for OO technology in the scientific community, or is Fortran still
predominant ? Have RSI made any moves in this direction ?

Any news, views and gossip welcome ...
