Re: A Plain English Compiler

We don't understand what you mean by "toy". It compiles itself. We
wrote the editor in it. We wrote the page-layout program in it, then
wrote the documentation in the page-layout program. Then we
spell-checked it. We drew the pictures for our website in it. We wrote
our JAVASCRIPT and our CGI applications in it.

Are you quite sure?

The "Cal Monet" draws like a person draws. It "remembers" or "sees" an
image, then renders an original "dab, dab, dab" work of art based on
the image. How does it "remember" and "see"? By looking in it's memory,
which, in this case, is stored on various computers around the world.
