B4J Question [BANano] Dim ... As Object is not supported

[Kiffi]

Hello,

this B4J-Code:

Dim myArray() As String
Dim myObject As Object

is transpiled to this JS-Code:

// [31]  Dim myArray() As String
_myarray=[];
// [31]  Dim myObject As Object
_myobject=// NOT SUPPORTED;

why isn't myObject transpiled to this one?

_myobject={};

Thanks in advance & Greetings ... Peter

This looks right. Object is not supported by BANano. I use it in some methods, e.g. because a method can return several types and there is no casting like B4J (java) has.

E.g. in the RunInlineJavascriptMethod(), I have no idea what you will return. So you need to make the receiving variable the correct type.

I had a deeper look into this, and it seems as B4J's Object has no methods or properties, there would be no harm in allowing Object and initializeing it as you suggested to {} so I'm going to allow it in the next update.
