feature request!! #80

not working for direct functions calls def hi(): return 'hi hello'

hi() // No output showing

we have to use either print(hi()) or store in a variable x = hi()

is there any feature that directly prints for function calling

like this

hi() 'hi hello'

Yes, I believe a "comment macro" is what you're looking for. ie: ? as the first character in the comment on the same line.

Example:

hi() #? 'hi hello'

Thank you for your response. But isn't it great if it works directly without typing "comment macro"? Are there any consequences behind implementing without "comment macro"? Don't get me wrong. I only started using wolf a few days ago, but I fell in love with this extension😅. I thought it would be great if we had that feature either directly or with the setting enabled. are there any chances of making it possible?

I suppose it is possible.. However I did try to emulate the UX of another similar plugin (but for Javascript) and I don't believe that's a feature for them either.

If you could get a rally around this feature than I could justify adding it, but every point in the code where the output is required slows it down considerably (the plugin uses a rather naive brute-force method of evaluating the line in question) so I feel pretty comfortable leaving it the way it is for the time being.

Note: Please don't take it personal (it is a very good idea :) ) since I do really appreciate you and others still enjoying Wolf, especially after all these years.

Edit: I re-read your comment and having it be a controlled by a field in settings seems reasonable enough. So yeah, maybe ;)
