 (also described <A HREF="http://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html">here</A>). If you want to see

 This is a project for a student with a deep interest in programming languages and
 compilers. Since my compiler is implemented in <A HREF="http://www.scala-lang.org/">Scala</A>,
 it would make sense to continue this project in this language. I can be

+are small Linux computers the size of a credit-card and only cost &pound;26, the simplest version even costs only &pound;5 (see pictures on the left below). They were introduced
 in 2012 and people went crazy...well some of them. There is a
 <A HREF="https://plus.google.com/communities/113390432655174294208?hl=en">Google+</A> community about Raspberry Pi's that has more
 than 197k of followers. It is hard to keep up with what people do with these small computers. The possibilities
 seem to be limitless. The main resource for Raspberry Pi's is <A HREF="http://www.raspberrypi.org">here</A>.
 There are <A HREF="https://www.raspberrypi.org/magpi/">magazines</A> dedicated to them and tons of
 floods of <A HREF="https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=raspberry+pi">online</A> material,
 such as the <A HREF="https://www.raspberrypi.org/magpi-issues/Projects_Book_v1.pdf">RPi projects book</A>).
 Google just released a

 for web-programming on Raspberry Pi's turning them into webservers.

 Arduinos is that they can be powered with simple AA-batteries.
