Have you looked into the language in-depth at all? That page in particular seems very Pascal like, which surprised me.
I’m glad to see there are still pointers though. Can’t really do systems level stuff without explicit memory management.

I wrote a multi-threaded echo test server here at work. It’s a pretty slick language, though I think it still has some work to go in terms of library support. There’s no big to little endian conversion functions too, which seems like an oversight. I also couldn’t figure out how you are supposed to translate from a set bytes to an integer — which makes having binary length headers in messages problematic. There is apparently some sort of encoding library you are supposed to use to read binary data into a structure, but I didn’t look too deeply into that. People on the mailing list said it was slow. It’s an interesting language anyway. There is some OO stuff, but it feels very procedural.
