What project? Rewriting LibTom in a new language that nobody uses?

If you want to convince people your language is worth anything you're
going to have todo a lot of work yourself. Just like I have to sit
here and write/update user manuals and other "petty" things to get
people to use LibTom ...

People have done it before. There are two ports of LibTomMath to
Pascal that I know of and LibTomCrypt has been ripped/ported to a dozen
or more different targets [including an AVR ATMEGA processor ... ;-)].

I'm busy enough as it is with my full-time job, part time job and
trying to have decently adequate social life. I'm not about to
re-write libtom in another language when I barely have the time to
maintain the project as it is.
