Hello,

Currently I am searching for something which could be ok for my Graduate Project. Since the most interesting area in computer science to me is Compiler Design, so I am interested in developping a GCC front-end for some language. And my thoughts came directly to Pike. Uhmm.. why not? Of course, it would handle a little portion of Pike at the beggining, just the enough for my project being accepted.

What do you mean by making a GCC front-end ? Do you mean making a Pike scripts to binary format converter without the need for the interpreter at runtime ? If yes I applaud the project with my both hands :)
