Sure, but there are plenty of us, who, if applied ourselves fully, are surely capable of taking this over? IMHO, the only reason why more of us havnt got on board is because its written in OCaml - not because we dont understand byte code. For me personaly this is the case anyway. Its far more common to write a compiler in flex and bisson. In fact I never even heard of ocaml until I came across MTASC!
