    Video game development.

    Do you have support for HLSL and GLSL shaders in there?

    That would be fun to me.

    eh? the neos grammar is based on EBNF so is human friendly.

    Its almost a solid slab of text.

    It's human friendly because Flibber says so. Flibber is never
    wrong, not even when he's wrong.

    And because magic, neos can (present tense) compile any
    programming language, even though most languages have no schema
    at present. We know this because Flibber is never wrong.

    Thats what was claimed for XML originally.

    Create one for C++ then. Imagine the plaudits, the groupies, the fame, appearing on Good Morning, the difficult 2nd schema, the drug years, the comeback. Etc etc.

    It's human friendly because Flibber says so. Flibber is never wrong, not
    even when he's wrong.

    You won't be surprised to hear that I disagree.

    Just because a language doesn't yet have a schema it doesn't follow that
    neos couldn't compile it if a schema was created for it.

    I have not made that claim. You, however, made the claim that
    neos can (present tense) compile ANY language. It's still in the
    quoted materials:

    See?

    But I note that you are now opting for the subjunctive, which is
    an altogether more sensible claim and perhaps offers a hint that
    you're edging towards realising why your original claim was
    mistaken. Indeed, you put me in mind of the Fonz in Happy Days,
    trying to admit he's wrong but unable to use the word of himself.
    "I was wr... I was wr... I was wrwrwrwrwr... I was, not, right."

    The ability to admit error when you're wrong is an important one
    to acquire on the path to adulthood. Keep going as you are, and
    you'll get there... one day.
