It would be very interesting to follow your discussions. It is such
things that make a language / research project interesting and
attractive, in my view.

I have used Prototyper and it is indeed a nice tool.

Many thanks for your reply, very good to hear that you plan for
a new release and the additional community activities mentioned
by Denys Duchier. I am also very happy that Windows is supported,
as was pointed out in that post. (The kids and schools I work with
use Windows!).

Best, Micke
