This looks not unlike a project I worked on several years ago, called Radian (<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.radian-lang.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.radian-lang.org&#x2F;</a>). That venture suffered from weak interoperability with system libraries, but more so from the lack of any niche community which could take it up as a solution. I wonder if you have any plans along those lines for Regent? It&#x27;s hard to get a new general-purpose language off the ground, so semi-specializing on a particular class of uses can help bootstrap a community.
