Thought crossed my mind and indeed seems to be the more promising approach.

Well, my first approah towards programming lies back in the days when I was
around 10 and my Atari800 gave me BASIC, then moved on to Pascal in school.
Then bought an Amiga and I lost interesting in writing code in favor of
playing games.... unfortunately. (Besides, Amiga was no good developer
platform). No that I need to start programming almost at zero level again, I
will rather try to cluthc to the most spread high langs since I expect most
support there plus makes it easier to follow the modify-instead-from-scratch
idea.

But thanks for the hint.
