Could you write an explanation on how to use this really cool language? :)

It's still in heavy development. At the moment, you can run the fib.jk and dragon.jk examples.

Clone the repo, npm install the dependencies, and npm link to install the jack executable globally. Then you can do jack dragon.jk to execute the dragon example in the samples folder. (note on windows, npm link doesn't seem to work and you'll need to manually do node jack.js samples/dragon.jk.)

Thanks! Worked nicely. I'm going to play around with it. Syntax looks very nice. It gives me a nostalgic SmallTalk feeling with a dash of JavaScript

I've got a busy week with new clients this week, but hopefully I find time to implement the metamethods (@get, @set, ...)

That is cool. I'm looking forward to diving into this. It seems pretty liberal
