Basic basics

[Johan Van Schalkwyk]

Assuming

(1) name
(2) charter, .. what next?

My suggestion:

Development of a minimal low level "symbolic assembly language" and 
simultaneous creation of higher level stack based interpreted language.

Things to explore:

1. Word size?

2. Absolute simplicity : minimal code. Core code of <= 20 lines!

3. Data types, especially iro communication of information between objects.

4. Interpreted does not necessarily imply _that_ slow!

5. Basic notation/evaluation: Polish, Reverse Polish, Infix ...?

6. CRCs on a low level from the start?

Or am I being too naive?

Bye
