Open Source Clean?

[Andrew Butterfield]

I think this is an excellent idea

I am considering developing a large system - in Clean, but colleagues
of mine have pointed out the potential risks - I could find suddenly that
my software becomes obsolete after an OS revision - the current situation
is that Nijmegen have to  put a lot of effort into keeping up with OS
revisions, as well as working on improving Clean itself.

I consider Clean to be the best language available for my purposes,
so I would welcome any development that copper-fastens its position.

Hopefully the Clean developers would like the "keep up with the OSs"
pressure to be relieved to some degree !
