Hey man, I'd love to try to write a version of proto with qute. How far along is your spec ? Is it in a place where something can be started ?

Cool, man. There are still some parts that are in flux and not nailed down well, but there's a core language that's pretty solid. It might be a good idea to specify exactly what that core is so that we can have some other implementations (which I would really love). I don't know the best way to do that, but I don't have time to make a specification as extensive as the something like the ECMAScript one. I'm thinking either a unit test based spec (if it passes the unit tests it's considered an implementation of Proto) or a reference implementation (it's a Proto implementation in so far as it follows the reference implementation). What do you think?

Sounds good to me. I like the idea of having a spec so an engine can be created. Using the W3 Web IDL would be great !
