I think the concept of a data-flow programming language is very interesting and I'd love to see an active, open-source data-flow programming language like Anic (which doesn't currently exists). Which makes me a bit uneasy about Anic is that it only has 3 committers, with the last update end of September, and no working compiler. The developer needs two things: (a) financial support so he can work on it full time, and (b) an active community of contributors. Maybe some organization could sponsor him, or perhaps do a Kickstarter fundraise or simply ask around for donations... I just hope it gets some traction and a compiler; for certain problems Anic could be a very interesting and natural approach. PS: The first response in this thread contains a few well articulated reasons for being interested in Anic: http://groups.google.com/group/ani-compiler/browse_thread/thread/4454069ad411282 http://groups.google.com/group/ani-compiler/browse_thread/th...
