| (I am the creator of Mars). Yeah, it basically means a few things: 1. This is a research project. It doesn't have any support and if there are future versions, they might change the language in backwards-incompatible ways (but I will generally follow proper practices and bump the major version number in that case). 2. I am reaching the end of my PhD and I don't anticipate spending a lot of, if any, time working on Mars. 3. The language as it currently stands isn't very palatable to use for real-world software, basically because it is missing a lot of features. I've compiled a brief list here:

I think if you were to play with it a bit, you would start to realise how primitive the language actually is ;) Sorry to disappoint you. Having said that, the source code is fully available and GPL, so there is no technical or legal reason why you can't use it in any way you like. |
