This could be the greatest programming language development of the last 10 years. Finally a language that compiles fast and is fast at runtime too.

Turbo Pascal 5.5 for MS-DOS, one example out of many others from those days, running on lame IBM PCs.

If anything, it is a generation rediscovering what we have lost.
