A programming language specification by myself, a uni
student, for the fun of it (I love designing) is
currently at version 0.4 Alpha and I would appreciate
volunteers to review the language reference as it stands.
It is a text document.
The language is called "Rocks", its motto "Something to
REALLY throw at your computer. The syntax and structure
of the language is essentially unique, but it borrows
from C, Ada and Eiffel.
The biggest recent change to the language (post v0.3) was
the extensive re-organisation of the OO facilities. I
believe it now provides a language that:
(a) Supports a superset of the OO paradigm, yet:
(b) Does so in such a way as to not compromise the OO features.
(c) Cannot be reasonably described as a hybrid language.
IMHO, Ada95 (a great language) does not truly achieve
requirement (b). I don't want to clutter this message
by describing my reasoning, however.
