wedoe: yes sorry, I have a particular distaste for some metaphors; to answer your question, I have been full time employee working on BlitzMax for 6 months now and as well as knowing all the module source very well I am looking forward to getting more experience with the compiler internals with some ARM and MIPS output in the new year.
Given just how cheap the US$ is currently it was a bit of a shock to see how many $KIWI we are earning with each sale but we've set the price now, bit of a bargain for European people also I expect.
As for the Linux support, yes it will be x86 only to begin with but anything running a recent version of Gnome / KDE I'm sure will be compatible after a few months of contributions from our users (any linux specific source is included so if there is some shonky code I'm sure there will be someone more knowledgable to put us right).
I'm not going to spill the beans with any win32 information but hoepefully there are still a few pleasant suprises instore for people...
