Yes. But I don't have much time to devote to it.

I just begin to read the OSkit 0.96 reference manual.

I will probably use it.

And I don't even know how to start it. It seems to me that:

* some primitive user interface is essential. Tunes should not handle
about static "program" (or meta-program) texts, but about changing

* perhaps some bytecode interpreter
