Hello Mark,

I agree with Samir that you should release prothon 1.0 as planned.
If you buy a new computer it is very soon an 'old' computer.
If you write a new piece of software it starts immediately to be 'legacy'
code.
Anyway, sometimes you have to buy a computer and sometimes you have to
finish a piece of software.

The community already knows that you are a wizard who creates a firework of
rabbits, elephants and mice from nothing.
But are you able to finish a 1.0 version?
This 1.0  version will be based on very modern technologies. It will run on
major operation systems and it will have a lot of features that other
languages haven't. So bring Prothon 1.0 (pr) to the market and
StainlessProthon (pr#) later

OTH it is a good idea to look at IronPython right now. If you plan to
release pr and pr#, it will be necessary that they have a lot in common. For
example, every pr-module should be a valid pr#-module. So  there should be a
way (Pyrex style) to write extensions, so that they will be compiled to C or
C# transparent for the user
