LANGUAGES.STATUS also for languages not in the tree?
Hi, Mightn't it be (is this English by the way? :-) a good idea to use LANGUAGES.STATUS also for maintaining track of parrot-generating compilers that are not in the main tree? If people agree that it's a good idea I would like to submit the following three liner: OpenComal Compiler emiting parrot being added to interpreter Status: Under development; nowhere near anything yet URL: http://www.josvisser.nl/opencomal ++Jos.nl -- ek is so lug jy vlieg deur my sonder jou is ek sonder patroon "Breyten Breytenbach"

If anyone has anything else, I have a page for this on the wiki. What's not in the Parrot distribution? http://www.vendian.org/parrot/wiki/bin/view.cgi/Main/ParrotExtrasTOC On Wednesday, Oct 8, 2003, at 11:38 Europe/Berlin, Jos Visser wrote: Hi, Mightn't it be (is this English by the way? :-) a good idea to use LANGUAGES.STATUS also for maintaining track of parrot-generating compilers that are not in the main tree?

Yes, Dan says we should track all know compilers as well as the last know Parrot version compatibility. I'll assume 0.0.11 for now unless anyone tells me otherwise. -Melvin At 11:38 AM 10/8/2003 +0200, Jos Visser wrote: Hi, Mightn't it be (is this English by the way? :-) a good idea to use LANGUAGES.STATUS also for maintaining track of parrot-generating compilers that are not in the main tree?

Hi Jos, Jos Visser writes: > Mightn't it be (is this English by the way? :-) a good idea to use > LANGUAGES.STATUS also for maintaining track of parrot-generating > compilers that are not in the main tree? Yeah, that's English. "Mightn't" is an archaic word which is sometimes fun to use. Saying "it be" is using the subjunctive mood in "to be", also seldom used, but you use it correctly here. I just learned about the English subjunctive a little while ago; it has greatly improved my understanding of those wierd constructs involving "might" and "lest".

There it goes again! That was *supposed* to be off-list! Well, now the entirety of the internals list can learn about English grammar. Hoo-ray.

I'm pretty sure it's not at all archaic English Grammar Dan

I'm pretty sure it's not at all archaic > English Grammar Well I'm a UKian (British/Irish) and it makes sense to me. Actually, thinking about it for a bit, it's a very very Northern Irish phrase. Of course, we would tend to drop the t at the end as well "mightn' it be", but that's pure laziness. andrew -- Sagittarius: (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21) They said they'd be right back after those important messages, but the messages weren't all that important and it's been almost 14 years.

It mightn't be quite "The Queen's English", but you can fix that by simply expanding the contraction to "might not". Americans don't do shall/will do they?
