I have since then thought about it and I'm trying to do something new, =
not just another language
I mean there's Jal, C, Basic, etc..why does code have to be written in =
text page up and page down..
so I have some really weird ideas on how to continue this, project. =
However I just got a job offer and I already have several things on the =
back-burner that needs some more attention so it will have to wait for =
now.

Also, if I was to write a conventional programming language I would =
probably ANTLR.
Which would remove a lot of the work including parsing the lanugage.
