By the way do you have a BNF grammar (or something more of a formal spec for this?). The cheat sheet does look good though.

No unfortunately not yet. The docs are like 75% caught up to all the language right now and it's still changing not infrequently, so we'll make some formal specs once it's stable. This reveal caught us off guard =).

I can buy this reasoning. This crowd gives solid, tough, but highly constructive feedback.

I, like others, will keep an eye out for when it becomes open source mainly to see which license.
