The only thing that I would suggest, is that he tighten the compiler
code and perhaps expose low level features if it is possible to do so
just through an edit of the p code. It is still compiled into pcode
right? or am I out of date...

I agree along the lines of Mark.
>From a developer perspective, I'm always cautious of different flavors of
languages which require special compilers, or alternative languages and compilers,
like haxe. Several reasons:
1. What happens when you leave the project/company and the next developer has
to pick it up and make changes? He/she has to learn the non-standard language
and install some other compiler and learn to use it as well. That's if he/she
even knows what you used in the first place.
2. Time it can take to learn something like haxe doesn't seem to give you
enough ROI - at least my impression having looked at haxe as an alternative.
3. Explaining and justifying to your boss why you used non-standard approaches can be hard, even if you understand the benefits. Sourcecode is now in a form that very few people understand.
Anyway, just my thoughts - not to discourage you, I think what you're doing is really
cool - just thought maybe you's want to know what challenges you may face "selling
it" to developers - in FOSS form or not.
