Mattathias BASIC does sound great. I posted a few questions on the project's SourceForge page, hope you don't mind me repeating them here:
1. How far through the development is this project (i.e. is a release candidate or beta version due soon)?
2. Which version of AmigaOS is going to be your first target platform (please say AROS!)?
3. Does Mattathias BASIC follow similar syntax to AMOS?
1. When the first beta is released, keep in mind that it won't have all of the Amos features added. We're basing it on LLVM so it will be ready several months if not years sooner than if we wrote the whole thing ourselves. And to answer your question, it isn't ready yet and probably not too soon.
2. The AROS version will directly follow the Linux, Windows, and Mac versions. So yes, it will be the first Amiga-like OS to have Mattathias.
3. Yes. That's why it's taking so long. We are improving the extension format so that a Mattathias BASIC programmer can develop their own extensions in Mattathias.
