Hi Aaaron, the community question is also my biggest concern and there is actually an easy and a difficult part about it.
I don't see many committers on the pnuts core project because very few people are able to design/implement a programming language properly. Having said this I don't want to see many people working on the pnuts core otherwise it will desintegrate into a feature heap. And this conflict is a really bad one .... :-( On the other side an extension mechanism exists called pnuts modules. In this area I see the opportunity that many people are contributing since those things are easy to write and extend. Regarding "sanctioned JVM language" - can't blame me or pnuts about it - if it happens to be the first that's fine for me.
