Hi Vince Yes, I forgot to bring up OO. Practical or not, perhaps we could chat about requirements?? Pascal, Ada and D all bring OO as well. My main motivation for even discussing other languages is the difficulty of bringing in other languages into Cobol in a Cobol-like way. Perhaps a separate compiler that translated Tidy Cobol looking code into Cobol + many CALL statements would be a neat project as well. Just a rough fictional example: GTK-START WIDGETS-START CREATE window TITLE is "Hello World" SET TOP-LEVEL WIDGETS-END EXEC-GTK SHOW window END-GTK This could end up CALL "gtk this and that' CALL "gtk this and that' CALL "gtk this and that' etc... -Patrick |
