Dear Santa,
I wish WME had more DataTypes like Lists, Hashtables and Trees. Trees would be very helpful for conversations. Also a way to create your own datatypes with properties and methods would be neat.
Greetings

The variables in WME are actually hash tables. By using just numbers as the hash codes, you get a simple list (array). And if you assign a value an another variable, you'll get a tree (i.e. technically speaking, one hash table member references an another hash table).
The only problem is, that the scripting language doesn't allow nested member references, like
MyVariable.MyProperty.AnotherProperty.YetAnotherNestedProperty = 10; // this doesn't work :-(
But maybe Santa's gonna do something about it, when the right time comes... ;)
