Re: Re: Rep:Re: [f-cpu] new langage ?

["Alexander Herz" <Softcore@web.de>]

Just a little side note from an 'outsider'..
Developing a new language is far more tricky than it seams at first glance..
There are TONS of details you need to consider..and you will miss most of
them at your first try..
So you need many ppl who test your language and all ppl who want to code for
fcpu will have to learn a new language..
If you want to make fcpu popular..than make it as easy to use as possible..
so go for standarts..C/C++  and java maybe ..
later on you can introduce other non standart languages..
and those who realy want them can use them..
