Re: Activity

My requests:

I'd like to be able to use goo on an embedded system. Ideally, I'd
bring up the goo interpreter on the target machine (that doesn't, for
example, have much in the way of stdio, tty, process control) and have
it talk to the host over a user-defined channel (possibly a socket, or
some weird thing for that platform; just some simple read/write
functions). Requests to compile C code to DLLs would also go over that
channel.

A related request, that's possibly the first step in that direction:
clearly defining all the interfaces to the system, and assuming less
availability of various posix, etc. functions. Being able
enable/disable: bignums, tty, stdio. This would also help with at
least minimal ports to other (possibly smaller/simpler) OSs.

And finally, I'd like to see a less restrictive license (at least LGPL
if you're set on GPL). Is the intention that all goo code ever must be
GPLd? I think that's what it means, as in order to run any code you
need to include the goo runtime in your exe, so then you have to GPL
all your code?

I have no idea if these are any direction you're interested in going
in, but goo seems like a great language design and this is where I'd
like to see the implementation go. Feel free to ignore me. :-)
