Hello, Chris,

I like your interests, and like your activity.
I would like to know more about your projects, only
I am difficult to read and write in English.

Yes, you're right.
I see ideal such language, as Pascal, than C++, Java or C#,
which dominates now. Pascal and Oberon notation is very
practic, evident and grounded mathematically.
It means, we need a language which less than CP, but Oberon-like.

Have you any iseas to create subset of more efficient
compilable language (optional garbage collection, or manual
memory management, binary data types and operations, unsigned types).

Good way. Can I see your Oberon-0 realization?
And you foresaw the generation of code for different processors?
Possibly, it is easily to add other back-ends.

I agreed.
