SUBJECT:  Luxasm progress?

I know that Frank has explored the inter-process communication side
with actual code and has spearheaded the investigation into how to
write code that avoids segfaults on the new kernal [I still personally
see this as a bug in the kernal since not only is it not
backwards-compatible with old binaries, but it is also not
backwards-compatible with old sources]; and Sevag started a prototype
line editor for it, but could you tell us what else is currently being
worked on and/or scheduled?  Do you have project ideas that interested
parties could work on?

I haven't checked, but I am sure you have probably posted examples of
what a Hello World will look like in Luxasm syntax, but could you
perhaps go a little further and describe maybe a Calculator program
which makes use of any advanced features you are planning for Luxasm
such as Macros, Compile-Time Language, etc.?

Nathan.
