Programming Language for Beginners

[Kailash Balnac]

Hi there,
I am an undergraduate student from Mauritius and I wish to create a
programming language for beginners as my final year project and I am
looking forward to implement it as a GCC FrontEnd. 
I am working on RH9.0 and have installed GCC 3.4.2. I have gone through
the GCC FrontEnd HowTo and tried to compile GCC with Sheakespeare
Programming Language but failed with a Lang.Man error. 

My Question is whether there has been any changes to the approach
adopted by SPL & the GCC FrontEnd HowTo in the GCC version 3.4.2 context
and also I would appreciate any suggestions as per the features to
include or not in the programming language for beginners. 

Thank you
Kailash Balnac.
