Tulip – An untyped functional language

This looks cool -- is there any source code? What language is it written in?

"Tulip is still in active development, and I could use a whole lot of help, both filling in the design gaps here and actually churning out the implementation"

OK interesting, it actually appears to be written in RPython, not full Python:

(RPython is the "static" subset of Python used to bootstrap PyPy)

They have moved towards treating RPython as a framework:

Yeah, it's basically a toolkit for building jitted languages. Basically the easiest way to get a tracing jit these days. So it'll be a self-hosting jit similar to pypy or pixie.
