Such a shame it isn't open source, so it's really impossible to eyeball QoI without actually investing a huge amount of time into the language. (Plus the usual bad things about closed source.)

I have no doubts about the qualifications (or even intentions) of the author, but one feels that a language meant for serious things should have an open implementation and/or standard. Of course, I realize this may not align with Baxter's goals, but it is going mean ~0 adoption.
