I am thinking of starting a project and I am looking to see if there is any interest. This will be an interpreted language that is very much like the language used in the HP41C, except you get labels to jump to (to avoid needing to renumber as one does in BASIC) and named variables instead of registers. The interpreter would interpret text source code directly, and would be capable of producing textual and numeric output

It will be a pretty big undertaking and I would rather only do it if there was a 'market' for it. The program will be distributed under an open source license.

Anyone?

That seems like a fun project, I have myself written two interpreters/simulators and one compiler and it's a lot of fun. However, that's something you do for your self, without a ton of effort and dedication you won't make something useful

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
