New Idea

What the plan is now for DP6 is for it to be aimed for the assembly type of solutions, but with enhancements from other languages. One idea I have is for the ability of modifying most of the supported sub-languages while the current program is compiling. This of course is an idea copied from Perl. I also want to create macros that will work in almost all sub-languages. Planned sub-languages may include Python, Perl, and a dirivitave of D.



I also want to be able to have most of the languages to support a common scanner, perhaps it could be an event based scanner. If the sub-languages support the same scanner, it will be easier to build.



Basically DP6 will become more of a glue language of different languages, in a hopefully transparent way.
