I have great respect for people who take on projects like this. Your chances of popularizing the language are small. There must be thousands of projects like this for every one that gets adopted by other people. However your chances of learning a great deal are large, including many things that you'll be able to apply to programs and projects that, at first glance, wouldn't appear to benefit from this kind of experience. If you get it working you'll have an impressive item to add to your resume. I suspect that you'll also have a lot of fun. Good luck with it. Alan
