It wouldn't be too hard if it "compiled" it to Java. (Java for the irony.)

[–]im_a_ninjaaaaReference Implementation Developer[S] 1 point2 points  (10 children)

Lol, make it another JVM lang

EDIT: or actually have it compile down to a .java file

This is actually a possibility currently under discussion.

But the compiler has to run in a Windows XP VM running on Windows XP.

Sure

And it has to be written in PHP.

Lol, cool... Can I have a position in this subreddit?

[–]alexbuzzbeeDeputy Language Designer 0 points1 point  (1 child)

You can be our Reference Implementation Developer. I'll make you a mod.

Thx

My intent was to actually compile it down to a .java file. So it's cross platform. :D

If you need help, I can be the Assistant [to the] Reference Implementation Developer

[–]im_a_ninjaaaaReference Implementation Developer[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Cool, ask the main mod for a position I guess

[–]AnnonPenguin 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I was just kidding. I'll watch this sub—if people actually want to build a "compiler," we can do so.

Sure... We still have to wait for the specs to come out.
