Hey,

OP from the original thread here. Once the language has been defined I'll be glad to start making a finite state machine and start on the lexical analyzer.

Things we'll need for the lexer
-list of reserved words
-type definitions (looks like we have most in the draft.txt)
-identifier definition (most likely C style, can't start with digit)
-comment definitions (check)

And what language will the compiler be written in. I know java best, but any C-like language I could manage. C would be my language of choice only because I want to get to know it better. Thoughts?
