if you are going to develop a new programming language (and I'm guessing
also a special IDE for it?) it seems (to me) you want to make it
accessible to as many people as possible.
I think Delphi is a great programming environment - but wouldn't you be
better off writing most of your core code in something like C++?
If you're relying on all the spiffy extensions in enterprise D5 you're
really restricting yourself. Why do you need this stuff to implement
a language? If you want your language to become popular (i think)
you're best off implementing it with a very simple framework. Delphi 2
probably has everything you need to do that.
And if you're doing something nontrivial, "rewriting it later" is not going
to be something you can do over a weekend.
