top level goals

				Pragmatic Goals

1. Create a language that allows for easy expansion of semantics to create a set of sub-languages.
   
	Reason: Allow the programmer to mix and match various programming paradigms and 
	meta-paradigms solve whole and/or sub-problems using the most intutative 
	semantics/abstractions as possible

2. Allow all above mentioned paradigms/meta-paradigms interact seemlessly at a very fundimental
level

	Reason: Just becuse data/code fragment X was created and/or modified using paradigm Y 
	should not make it so paradigm Z should have to treat it as a foreign data/code fragment

3. Support all currently known execution models (interperated, compiled, JIT compilors, embedded
in larger datasets/documents)

	Reason: Many applications require a mix and match different components running under
	different execution models

4. The "machine" API presented to the implimentor of paradigms/meta-paradigms should be 
platform independance

	Reason: See goal 3
