A new language created: branchly

Sure. Alas, I don't know a flex from a bison, so I won't be implementing it any time soon.

Seems like language implementors are like carpenters: once you're a skilled pro, you're not interested in making a plain simple bookshelf. It's got to have dovetail joints, beveled edges, countersunk fasteners with plugs over them, light sanding between multiple coats of finish... then it's great, but not affordable and I'm back to looking for a simple bookshelf.
