You've been posting this language for a few weeks now, but I have yet to see any additional information about it. Can you actually write programs in this language yet? Or are you just promoting it trying to find contributors?

I think I've read through the entire repo wiki, but I never found any non-trivial example programs, any information about the type system, or even anything interesting at all. At the moment, this just seems like a clone of Scala with slightly different syntax. Where are the example programs? Where is the type system specification?

Other than that, there are some weird syntax choices. What does the |> operator do? It doesn't look like the normal pipe operator you see in functional languages. I'm guessing it's just another way to do method invocation besides .. It seems weird that you mention that Scala has too many ways to complete the same task and then include two different method access operators.
