Currently I'm looking for project work, so if someone wants to pay me to
port the Dashrep code to any platform, including Parrot
assembly-language code running on the Parrot virtual machine, I would
love to do that. Of course the platform must support regular-expression
matching and replacing.
To facilitate porting the Dashrep code to C, I intentionally wrote the
code in a subset of Perl that is close to C, except for the handling of
strings and regular expressions and hash arrays, all of which can be
converted into calls to C library functions.
For perspective, my specialty is creating what is new and has value.
Currently I'm juggling several such non-paid creative projects. For
examples of past creative projects, see www.NegotiationTool.com and
www.VoteFair.org. The Dashrep language is a byproduct of those two
projects. It saved lots of programming time -- although possibly not if
I count the time I spent creating the language. And I'm ignoring the
time I wasted in an attempt to add executable functionality to the
language.
