Hello there!

Recently I've been exchanging personal software projects with @renatocf, and he mentioned this initiative. So I'm here to take a look and perhaps try to help a little.

While I'm still trying to grasp the core ideas of the language, let me suggest a very nice blog to read for inspiration: http://journal.stuffwithstuff.com/. The author works in the development team of the Dart language (mainly intended for web applications), but also has a personal language called Magpie with very interesting features, such as multimethods and pattern-matching (which I know you were discussing in another issue). He also has a lot of experience with game development (even wrote a very nice book about it), so you can be sure that code efficiency is always on his mind =).

And that's it for now. I'll keep reading your discussions and see where I can contribute (if at all, you guys seem to know what you are doing).
