Summary
I am looking at rebuilding the Heron compiler in C++. I am surveying which platform developers would most like to see targeted whether it is native code, java virtual machines, .net, or other.

I currently have a Heron to C++ compiler written in Delphi. It was developed in a hackneyed fashion, and was started when I had no clue what I was doing. Now that I know a thing or two about compilers, I am likely going to rewrite the whole mess in C++. I am also considering the possibility targeting either the .NET platform or the Java Virtual Machine the next time around. I would like to hear whether targeting any particular platform would help increase the interest in Heron

Please share your comments, thanks!
