Support for reference types?

[ranaya-formant]

One thing I hope for is more language support with is the ability to expose module functions that can take references from a host app efficiently.

e.g. imagine me passing a reference to an HTML dom node from javascript to a onyx function.

any thoughts or plans?

This is definitely a planned feature! I was waiting to see how the references types proposal would shake out before implementing them into the language. Now that they are standardized (well, they have been for a while, but I've been focusing on other aspects of the language), I want to revisit how Onyx is used with JS to add support for that exact use case. Stay tuned!
