Sounds like an interesting project.
I don't think any of the maintainers have anything against someone writing a wxWindow module. Were you planning on it being released into the main Pike branch?
I'm sure noone at all have anything against books on the subject. :)

Hello everyone!
My name is Charles Tilbury and I currently reside in Portland, Oregon, USA. I have been working on developing my own language for several months now, only to discover that Pike is almost exactly what I was trying to make! I only wish I had found out about it earlier.
I need a fast interpreted language with GUI support for Unix, Windows, and Mac/OS. I am planning to make commercial applications in the area of EDA and embedded software developement tools such as JTAG debuggers. I want to use a GUI compatability suite such as wxWindows to allow portability to my chosen platforms.
If I use Pike, I will write the wxWindows/Pike binding and release it under the Pike licensing scheme, but I will probably arrange to encrypt the pike scripts that are part of my applications.
This is a very large undertaking that I will be working on with no help. I want to the sure before I start that:
- The maintainers of Pike are at least not against a project like this.
- That if I decide to write books about Pike and/or the wxWindows binding to
it, that no one has any real objection to it.
I would be very interested in hearing your comments.
Highest Regards, Charles Tilbury
