Hey, I hope most of you have heard of Ruby on Rails. It's a web framework for Ruby. It helps establish conventions, allows for cleaner code, etc, yada yada yada.

I think AHK’s equivalent would a list of functions people would easily be able to #Include. Hopefully this list of functions would amass to a lot and documentation could be written so people would know just how to use the functions. Maybe, at one point it could be included with each new distribution of AutoHotkey. And even if not, people could change their template.ahk in C:\WINDOWS\ShellNew so that every new script would #Include ahkonrails.ahk.

Now, I know, this idea has obviously been thought of before, at least the list of functions part of the idea. But, I don’t think it has ever been looked at in this way before. We already have a huge start. The AHK wiki is full of functions and the forum is teaming with them too.

What do you think though? Is this a bad idea, is this going to drastically increase file sizes of compiled scripts? Please weigh in guys.

The idea is not to have a huge list of functions with 10% or less really used, but to have a flexible list of include files with functions on the topic related to the program that need them.
Otherwise, it would bloat the exe, and even worse, slow down dramatically the uncompiled scripts (lot of functions to load and parse before starting).
