I'm not sure if you're serious or if you're just trying to do
me a favour by making people curious of my document. But anyway:

I have no time or lust for intrigues.

I invented Proseq, and that was very fun to do. And I'm going to
create the translator, sooner or later.

And if Rob or other interpreter/compiler producers would like to
borrow Proseq or parts thereof into their languages, I would just
be very happy (because I haven't got the knowledge needed to make
such an interpreter myself).

But I won't try to push him to do something like that.

And, regarding Proseq, most of its features could probably not be
introduced into Euphoria without breaking
backwards-compability. So it would be up to the Eu community
whether you wish to do such a language-jump or not.

And it appears to me that the best way to show request for
Proseqish features would simply be if many people used the Proseq
translator when it gets ready.

So, to be concise: I just invented the nuclear bomb; that doesn't
mean that I'm responsible for what people do with it.  (Or does it?)



Btw, I have a lot of things to catch up with now, and
probably I won't be able to start the coding before June.
So nobody should get paranoid if I disappear for a while...
