I've been thinking about this project since I read your first thread about the idea. I'm looking forward to trying it, but are there any plans for Mac OS X support in the near future (I do most of my coding on a Mac and have for some years now)?
Also, did you ever post anything on Lambda the Ultimate about this project? They might give some good feedback.
I don't have access to a development Mac, so sadly for now we're a Windows-only operation. I
do accept donated hardware/software/cash, though... [wink]
I haven't been through the LtU gauntlet yet, no. I'm holding off on that until I finish the design and implementation of some of the more useful features of the language; right now it's still pretty primitive and wouldn't really arouse much interest over at LtU. Once the object model is in place though I will definitely be throwing it that direction for review.

I've been laying about with the latest Epoch release a little I've found some problems, so here's that feedback you were asking for.
The sample programs don't function properly. The guessing game, which I'm quite positive I've managed to get working in release 7, throws an error at runtime about an illegal cast. The scribble project doesn't even build, giving me two inexplicable compile errors, and I had to move the project to the "Tools" folder because Exegen couldn't find the source files in a remote directory.
When programs do run they appear to do nothing. A trivial example such as the one below, while building without errors, produces no output when run from the command line.

Am I missing something here?
Can you run me through the command line ops you're doing? I'm having problems recreating the issues (although you are correct that Scribble is, yet again, broken; I could have sworn I had it building before I packaged the release, but oh well).
I really do need a quick "how to use this mess" guide included in the release kit... [grin]
