OK, The current extension for monkey2 files is .monkey2
As Monkey2 seems to be referenced in most places as MX2 would it not be more logical to use .MX2 as the extension?
We could really just add this as another file type and not bother changing anything, so .monkey2 would also work?
It would also mean that in editors “file.mx2” becomes nice whereas “file.monkey2” is not as nice.
There would also be the sort of splitting/joining of both monkey and blitzMax into MX2 which would make a better language name choice?
This is really just a thought, but one that possible bears thinking about?
+1
I don’t know about .mx2 in particular, but while .monkey felt long, .monkey2 somehow seems REALLY long.
+0.5?
Monkey may not have been a commercial success but the .monkey syntax highlighting support on sites like github show that it has become a publicly known thing.
The x doesn’t seem to stand for anything in mx2 and it is not as informative to casual observer. The language is human readable and I think the suffix should enforce that.
As for the C style I meaning Interface in the monkey2 interface name IIterator don’t get me started:)
Ill Iterator more like it.
