Hi folks, I hope this is the correct place to put this. I have a weird project that bends the meaning of a language. Some friends took a look and suggested I switch from java to Scheme, and I got a further recommendation to switch to Guile. This project grew out of frustration with Visual Basic, in the bad old days before I knew about Linux. It started as a java toolkit for hooking up GUIs to data modelling programs, but grew into something beyond. It became a way for the user to modify the structure and behavior of running programs. The aim of this project is to create a language that is well suited to writing scientific models, and hooking them up like tinker-toys. The hooking up can done via command line (included in every programs' interface) or visually via drag and drop. I do not intend for this project to rely on the GUI, but I still want it to have a rather nifty one. It is called DHARMI (Data Habitat And Rapid Modelling Infrastructure) and can be found at http://www.erols.com/panda/ I want your advice on whether or not this can be a viable and worth-while project. Thanks, Eric Wolf
