Has no one read this? It gives a little idea of how the Monkey launch went from Mark's perspective and where Mark thinks Monkey is heading towards to:

Hmm, well spotted. A good read!

great update, answered all my questions

I've just finished an excellent book called 'Ready Player One'


I thought for a second there he actually wrote a book
duh!

Ya, that Android thing Mark commented on was annoying but critical. I'm VERY glad he found the solution and makes Monkey all the more powerful.

Actually, i'm checking out that book now :)

I want interpreted monkey. If i can debug with it, i don't care if it's slow.

I would love a "proper" native Monkey target... ala BlitzMax but with Monkey... full speed and debugger :)

I dont know how long that would take to implement, as it is completely different to translating from one high-level language to another.

Mr Sibs has lots of compiler experience but it takes even him about a year to implement a language in assembly code.

If he implements all that, I'll fly to New Zealand and make love to his shoes*!

We've got ourselves a real live shoe fetishist in here!

Not really, I just say stupid, off the cuff stuff that no one really should take any notice of! ;)

I wonder how hard it would be just to implement a debugger for glfw with some of the other targets more simple features added as an emulation on top of glfw?

Say like the ios target's accelerometer tied to the arrow keys and touch tied to a mouse/keyboard combo.

If he implements all that, I'll fly to New Zealand and make love to his shoes*!

Dabz I think you need to see a specialist. Preferably the type of person who uses whips and likes dressing in leather. ;)

What would make a native compiler written by Mark better than a native compiler written by, let's say, Microsoft, or GCC? I mean we already have native compilation for windows and mac computers. I don't see the point on making double work, and maintaining it. And I would add that both Microsoft Visual C++ and the GNU C++ compilers are out of question in both speed therms and reliability (you may preffer one or the other but they're good compilers).
I would kill for interpreted Monkey. That would be super sexy!
