Shen 1.7 available

Is this really an appropriate post? I don't know what Shen is, I find no explanation here, and I am required to enter a username and password to find out more.

(I don't get all the nuances of HN; it's an honest question.)

Here's a fairly concise explanation of what Shen is:

TL;DR: Shen is the successor to Qi, a functional programming language in the Lisp family.

Is it appropriate? I wish it weren't, but there's little room in the title to explain Shen (and then it would be "the successor to the Qi language", and one cannot leave post descriptions. But a username/password aren't necessary; I don't know what you clicked.

I followed the "Shen 1.7 available" link, which points to https://groups.google.com/group/qilang/browse_thread/thread/.... I have always been prompted to login when going to Google Groups threads; I don't know about others. I'd be very happy if there were a way around it.

(If I'd noticed QiLang in the URL, I guess I would have had a better idea about what I was seeing ….)

You are probably correct - bad title. I cannot edit it now, alas.
