Summary
I've recently posted the Cat source code to CodeProject.com with a reasonably detailed description of the design and implementation.

Even though the Cat language has relatively simple syntax and semantics, the type system is not trivial. To help people who are interested in using or modifying the source code I decided to write an article which supplements the internal documentation, and could aid people in understanding the design and implementation of the interpreter. The article is available on CodeProject.com at http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/cat.asp
Cat is implemented in C# and the source code is public domain, which means it easily used in commercial or open-source projects, and is compatible with any kind of license you desire. To download the source code through CodeProject.com you have to register, but you can also download the source code from my site at http://www.cat-language.com/download.html. The article should prove to be interesting for those of you interested in the implementation of interpreters and compilers. Also for those of you interested in using the Cat interpreter (or some variant of Cat) as a scripting add-on to an existing application. Cat of course is also interesting as a stand alone package, and could be used with wrapper applications. Some of the ideas I for projects I'd like to develop are:Have an opinion?
