A belated Happy New Year and Best Wishes for 2017!
This site and news have been neglected for much of 2016, this year’s resolution will be to try and revive it a bit.
In particular announcements and articles have fallen way behind the code as far as DWScript is concerned. So I will start the year by attempting to rectify that.
BigInteger support in DWScript
DWScript now has support for the BigInteger type, which supports numbers with as many decimals as the memory allows.
This support comes in two flavors, either through a MPIR dll (a GMP fork) or through Rudy Velthui’s BigIntegers unit.
Nonces and Tokens
I recently committed an extension to dwsCrypto lib module that exposes direct support for cryptographic nonces and tokens.
Driving PhantomJS from DWScript
PhantomJSAssociative Arrays in DWScript
Associate Arrays (aka dictionary) are now in experimental form in the DWScript repository.
BeginEnd.net has begun, where will it end?
Last week www.beginend.net was launched with the goal of aggregating Pascal and Delphi blogs in a mobile-friendly, secure website with a minimalist UI.
The website is Pascal-Powered: the server is Delphi-compiled DWScript Sample Web server, the server-side page generation and APIs are handled by DWS and an SQLite database, and the client-side is a SmartPascal application compiled on-the-fly to JavaScript by the server.
Coalesce operator for DWScript
Support for ?? (double question mark) as the coalesce operator has been added to DWScript.
The coalesce operator is a binary operator, which looks at its left operand, and if not “falsey”, returns it, otherwise returns its right operand.

This version contains a variety of improvements and fixes, along with a new sample for JS libraries.
DWS WebServer with JavaScript CodeGen
