yes, this does join today's festival of obscure languages. But why is this one note worthy you might ask yourself?

1. it appeared almost out of nowhere with no warning from its mysterious author _why the lucky stiff who then later disappeared off the face of the internet.

2. despite its sophistication (JIT, custom vm, full mixing based language) the source is very readable and accessible to anyone interested in non-trivial compiler construction.

3. it has a certain idealism not sullied by being a large project trying to become famous.
