Let's see which is the hole of AutoHotkey

Unfortunately, multithreading is a dream only.
It seems no other popular automatition tool have multithreading, that I know, not counting those distributed as libraries for particular language such is WinRunner or Ranorex as ppl can use native threading along with such libraries.
That single fact is for me the most negative thing for all popular automatition languages around as its irational to run number of processes that will each run 10 liner script, instead of single process, runing any number of scripts of any complexity.
I miss namespaces and/or pseudo-classes (syntax suggars simulating classes). Without them, its impossible or very hard, or very inneficent to extend AHK from itself.
All other things you mention above, xcept Unicode, already exist one way or another. So if I have to choose one of those, that would definitely be Unicode (although static local arrays would be very cool to have)

| structs (RECT.Left, RECT.Top, etc...). Methods currently exist but are inconvenient and almost always end up creating cryptic, difficult to manage code. |

I voted for Structures, since the current simulated arrays work well enough for me.

If arrays are implemented structures can probably be supported with few easy functions or syntax suggars. Object Oriented interface even easier... In several languages objects are noting more then associative arrays with syntax suggar, something like:
| Code: | o.property := x
||
o["property"] := x
;-----------------
o.method( a1, ... an )
||
%o["method"]%(o, a1, ... , an)
;-----------------
o.method(a1... an) {
}
||
o_method(o, a1... an) {
}
o["method"] := "o_method"
|
As dot is not operator in AHK but SpaceDotSpace we could even use normal object notation.

I was trying not to mention OO as some people tend to cringe and run away  but I would love to be able to create/use/abuse objects in AHK . |

we need this badly.

| Bit arrays, like Judy, can be useful, but they are really easy to program in AHK with NumPut/Get. If you are after speed, you can use the Windows bitmap functions, exported by ntdll.dll. See a usage example here. I voted for Unicode, because handling it is the most difficult among the ones in the poll. |

...I couldn't vote , but I would vote for structs!...I don't know how hard it is or care about Unicode, but structs are a bitch...is there even a current/updated version of that "struct lib"...last I looks it still wasn't very easy...does some1 have a current struct lib they are using that works good? I also vote for object orientated syntax...like JavaScript...OH & of course for making + a concat operator too!... |
