Interesting. Still, on a wider level it's unlikely than GML will get the same recognition as established languages (C, COBAL, Java, etc.), or even runs the same. I did notice an interesting point in the wiki for it, though:

Quote:
The GMLC first turns GML code into C++ code
Without firsthand experience with the language I can't accurately compare it to COBOL, C, or Java, but I'm also not too interested in looking into it either. I made a couple of games in the past and, as simplistic as they were, they're hard to make from scratch.

If you end up with anything decent, though, you should show it off. Accomplishing a good game even with help is hard.

EDIT: Though, I will note, depending on exactly how high-level this language is, the comparison of building a bookshelf from mailed parts with instructions and everything may not be inaccurate. All programming languages are higher-level, to a degree, but it seems to be a very high-level language.
