Thanks, I'll ask my questions here if I have any questions, the first thing I want to do is actually compile some ATS example with pthreads and see if the code runs on MinGW-w64 and mac and linux. I understand the language is abnormally powerful, but i want the c code spit out by the ATS compiler to work _everywhere_ including windows.
If it meets this criteria, then I'll put all my effort into learning this language.
