Thanks!

I have read a couple proceedings about this language and it is the best
design I have seen for a pure OOP language!

I have borrowed a couple of ideas and gathered a bunch more to make a new
language of my own called Anomaly.  Hasn't been implemented yet :-(.

I designed my language to be an application and application builder.  When
it gets written it will be used primarily by end-users.  Similar
in some ways to GNU Emacs, but with an OOP language and very extensible.

The Killer Unix application everyone is talking/waiting for?

Since I am so busy with no resonable hope of venture money without
strings, it will take a long time to write Anomaly on my own.
I am entertaining the thought of writing it publicly as shareware or
CopyLeft.

If anyone is interested in helping write this language/application/tool, 
please email me.  I do have most of the design completed.  I would welcome
any input on design, advertisement (future), legal status (PD (public domain),
PL (public license), CopyLeft, Commercial, etc.), etc.

Thanks.
