HAL was designed to implement a number of different computer projects.
I want a language that is extensible enough so that it will be the last programming language I ever have to work in. (Although I do plan on programming for at least another hundred years!)
I want a language not too different from the pseudo code that authors might put in a book. I want something both fast to program but also that will run fast on today's computers.
I am close to having that programming environment to the degree that I can start developing my AI. (4-6 weeks max) There are many steps to go before all the security and lingering bugs are worked out of this environment but the light is at the end of a short tunnel.

P.S. HAL as the language name has no special meaning. It is just short and easy to type.
