This is exactly the thought process I'm going through. This is what
makes the CLR so interesting. Of couse now that I've actually read
through a couple of compiler books, I'm not sure I should even be
talking about this. Until I find a true compiler person interested in
helping me, I doubt I'll get anywhere.


But I can work at it in the meantime. The syntax is what really
interests me. How to create a syntax that supports a 10 to 1 or higher
ratio of descriptive text to code. The only thing close is HTML and a
markup type language isn't a terrible idea, it just may not be
suitable.


Still working...
