[E-Lang] Some announcements (minor bug report and development news)

[Dan Moniz]

Hi everyone,

I recently encountered a bug in the E 0.8.9 installer. It's possible that 
if you attempt to run setup.exe from the directory where E is installed and 
attempt to re-install it in the same directory that you can get caught in a 
recursive copy until you terminate the install dialog (with Ctrl-C, in my 
case). MarkM has been made aware of this bug and will be fixing the C 
routine in the installer soon.

In other news, I'm pleased to announce that I'll be developing an E 
compiler, with the first target being from E to Java bytecode. Mark seems 
satisfied with my background in implementing Scheme compilers and general 
Lambda heritage, so I'll be starting in earnest around next week. In 
addition, I'd like to welcome Steve Jenson to the list, who is a good 
friend of mine and will be joining my DRM team in openCOLA R&D, working 
full-time and alongside MarkM to facilitate openCOLA's DRM and Smart 
Contract framework using E.
