Dear Nick.
I am writing a code generator for the Java Virtual Machine (in Clean, of
course). I think you will like it. Besides, you will be able to use it
with your parser combinators to generate applets. By the way, the idea
of a software repository is very good. In fact, I think that Clean is
not more popular due to the lack of such a repository. Even today, there
are a lot of people programming in Fortran. Why? Because there are a lot
of numerical packages written in Fortran. The same thing could be said
about languages such as C. Thus, go ahead and try do implement your
repository.
