Thanks for responding to my stupid question. :-) OMeta is quite simple, which makes it very very difficult for me to think about sometimes (often!) :)
That's pretty fricking awesome... because it obviously means you just have to do two translations to get all the existing translations to and from other languages "for free"... including compilers and interpreters. I guess this is why Frank is so potentially amazingly awesome, right? It's built on this idea :) I also really like the idea that you're not just "throwing away" all the existing stuff in the process of readdressing these extremely base level concerns... because it's obvious that that doesn't work. You guys rock :) I just wanna take this opportunity to give thanks that there are still people like you who are continuing this sort of things for the good of us all. Julian.
