Ok, I don't know much about compilers.

And I'm not very good with complex algorithms.

I have skills - I don't know how to describe
them - but they aren't algorithms.

My dad convinced me to do engineering instead
of computer science, but in the 2nd year of
university I quit after they started teaching
differential equations and I decided this
wasn't for me.

I managed to get work as a tape jockey when I
was 18.

I looked at your link. Maybe if I spent enough
effort I could understand it, but for now I
want to avoid it.

What I know is that for literally 50 years, no-one
has been willing to release even a basic C90-compliant
compiler. Everyone who has the skills wants to lock
it down with a copyright. SubC is where it's at.
It's not far from being usable. Well, "not far" may
still be another 50 years, no-one knows for sure at
the moment.

BFN. Paul.
