This is awesome. Literally, awe inspiring. We now have a compiler for the code which is DNA. Now we just need a "Hello, world!" app :)

We'll see if it is awesome, if the compiler is buggy it might turn out to create a 'killall' app instead.

This is great news, but with this new power comes also a very large responsibility.
