To the good folks at CMU:

What microprocessor architectures will you be targeting with your initial
Gwydion releases?  PowerPC?  Intel?  I think I remember reading that your
compiler will be table-driven so that you can modify the compiler to
target different architectures relatively easily. 

What kind of support for threads will be provided?

How does Windows NT fit in your plans?

Any thoughts about bringing Gwydion to the BeBox?

I guess that you have heard that Mklinux has been released for the
6100/7100/8100 PowerMacs, so there is the possibility of Macs running
Gwydion. 

On the cross-platform topic, rumor has it that Connectix will be releasing
an x86 emulator program for the Mac in August.  If they make it perform
well enough, Harlequin's DylanWorks might run acceptably on a Mac.
