Even with the lack of updates lately, PPL has been enhanced in a great way. I was able to squeeze more speed out of the compiler and the interpreter and I have added a long list of new things also.
For the next release I will concentrate on the SDK a little more.
If all goes according to plan 0.8 will be officially release by early June. I will advertise it everywhere I can. I hope to get a good amount of new users in the following weeks.
New version of PPL is now available at http://ppl.arwen.com
