To the author: please, please, please port (or reuse) LuaJIT's C-header parser for FFI; it's the best FFI interface specification method if seen among JNI, Python, V8 and even C# (because you can just use the C header, with support for typedefs, unions and packing).

It really looks like a great language!

Also check out Pixie's - towards the end of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AjhFZVfB9c. It's a really interesting technique, and for a Lisp too.
