I agree that trying to implement a fast fully ANSI standard interpreter is a bit much. However, is there no way to strip down the requirements to get ANY little subset of functionality that is doable in Python/Ruby/Perl in a weekend? It would sure increase someone's confidence they really understood evaluation. Maybe if they just allowed integers and no floating point and other similar corner cutting? :) Chris -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-lpsg
