Not to leave Sidewinder disappointed...

The usefulness of adding complex numbers will depend heavily on your target audience. If you are going after the scientific community, it would be nice to include. If you are targeting business/web apps, it probably wouldn't help much.

Another question would be: is this an OOP language which would allow you to define a new datatype. One of the first things I would do, however, is check on the IEEE specifications on data types, as this will give your language standards defined behavior.
