Thank you!

I just wanted to use Haskell, and write a compiler or interpreter.
It is an ironic statement as I am also about to start such a project
but for the Io language. Haskell is a very interesting and powerful
language.
My project was originally using the C interpreter but the number of
errors in the 10,000+ line code base where hurting my efforts in
building a Ruby interpreter using Io.
I have found Haskell to be one of the most worthwhile languages to
learn (along with Ruby of course :)).
So, I started implementing RType just for fun.
I am going to follow the standard Ruby Syntax for now, but if anyone
hit on a interesting extention, I will try to implement it.
For example, type theory or lazy evaluation or group thoery?
I will keep my open for ideas that might fit RType. This is not
specific to RType of the powers of Haskell but I would like to see
selector namespaces implemented somewhere. I was going to do this in
IoRuby but that is still too far away for me to plan.
> Do you plan on supporting a Ruby style license at some point?
Excuse me, but what is the merit of it?
If it is appreciated to support the licence, I will do that.
I use Haskell for a few projects and the thought of an easy to embed
interpreter is nice. The only problem I have with the GPL is that it
forces me to GPL the code rather than use something more liberal like
BSD or Ruby licenses.
At this moment I don't have an immediate use but it was just a thought
for the future. I am fine with GPL if that is what _you_ want your
code published as.

In this case, "another" dosen't modify "written using Haskell",
but "Ruby interpreter"
Actually, there are some Ruby interpreters, original Ruby, yarv,
JRuby, Ruby.NET.
So, I used "another". This is my misusage?
Ok. Thanks. Just a misinterpretation on my part. Don't worry about
exact grammar. I use broken English myself. I am sure if I tried
composing this message in Japanese I would fail to make even one
sentence correct.
