Budding compiler writer(s) invited to a party!

OK this is probably a silly idea (and which of mine aren't) but GLBasic is proported to allow you to drop to C code in its application.

Thinking about that and then remembering the "scripting" engine someone developed off PB... could you not take the same premise off GLBasic?

I am committed to cRun now and have it mapped out in quite some detail and so, with respect, I am not 'open' to suggestions regarding alternatives. I have already looked around and found nothing which would suit my purposes down to the ground. Lua did come close, but there are things about Lua I do not like; e.g. dynamic typing etc. I doubt whether cRun will match Lua's speed, but it will come close!

Beside's, this is a great learning experience for me which is justification enough for me to be working on this project.

My intention here was to invite budding compiler writers... well, you know the deal. I have two people now studying the specs carefully and so this thread has served its purpose.

Thanks for the interest though, much appreciated.

@srod:

It is possible that this could be relevant. It is the complete source code of a MiniBasic Interpreter, written in Ansi C, with full language documentation and an essay on how to write a script interpreter.
