I'm very curious about this.  I was looking at building an open source
implementation of Pascal after I get a few other things done and now I see
this thing.  The "S" language?  Do we have a programming language for every
letter of the alphabet now?  :-)

The old motto was that if it can't be done with Fortran then it isn't worth
doing.  A few years earlier we used to say "If it can't be done with
assembly language then it can't be done at all."

Guess I'm showing my age there.
