Phone: (415) 642-5563 >UC Berkeley adrianho@barkley.berkeley.edu Thanks! I have read a couple proceedings about this language and it is the best design I have seen for a pure OOP language! I have borrowed a couple of ideas and gathered a bunch more to make a new language of my own called Anomaly. Hasn't been implemented yet :-(. I designed my language to be an application and application builder. When it gets written it will be used primarily by end-users. Similar in some ways to GNU Emacs, but with an OOP language and very extensible. The Killer Unix application everyone is talking/waiting for? Since I am so busy with no resonable hope of venture money without strings, it will take a long time to write Anomaly on my own. I am entertaining the thought of writing it publicly as shareware or CopyLeft. If anyone is interested in helping write this language/application/tool, please email me. I do have most of the design completed. I would welcome any input on design, advertisement (future), legal status (PD (public domain), PL (public license), CopyLeft, Commercial, etc.), etc. Thanks. sdw -- Stephen D.
