RageMatrix, I do agree that to think you can search on Google for how to write your own computer language is very naive. I very seldom voice an opinion, but what you said made me want to clarify what I had meant as I didn't explain it well. I am old and went to school and learned what I know when Windows had just been released. I was taught that Pascal is the root of most programming languages. At that time C was just starting and becoming popular. I was taught, that C was a form of Pascal and it was just my thoughts that if indeed he did want to write a language, that is would be good to start at a root language. But you are correct in the thought he would have the benefit of other programmers by using C++. Just wanted to express why I had said Pascal and not C++. Seems you would have more leverage in being original at the root and not up the tree where you might be restricted.

Enough rambling and I will shut up.


Challenge me and I will try. Because If I should fail, failure also has a prize (Knowledge).
