Hi, version 0.0.1 of Cardinal is now available. This is just a preliminary of the program in order give people an idea of the general design principles. It has the following caveats -The compiler only understands numbers, strings, arrays, hashes and binary operators -It doesn't generate any output code -The architecture may change drastically following the recent ideas about making the parser and back end seperate projects -Running the program may cause demons to come flying out of your nose. it can be found at http://rubyforge.org/projects/cardinal/ There is a mailing list at cardinal-devel / rubyforge.org any comments, suggestions and patches will be greatly appreciated -- Mark Sparshatt
