It's all very preliminary right now. Not much more than a technology demonstration and experimentation platform. However, at this point it will progress quickly into a more full featured, self hosted environment. The compiler is now written in PLASMA and running on the Apple II, although the code generated is only a text listing.

Funny that GraForth is mentioned. That is my all time most favorite Apple II language system and actually helped launch my career in 3D graphics.  I would love to see PLASMA become a blend of the programmer productivity of Apple Pascal with the performance and features of GraForth.
