Can you comment at all on "Chaos' sister project", Order? E.g., what is its purpose, current state of development, etc.?
I can't say much; it's not my project. You'd have to ask Vesa to get a better answer. I believe that it is functional, but I'm fairly certain that it is not under any active development. I think that Vesa is pretty much tired of working with the C/C++ preprocessor (and C++ in general) as opposed to languages that have "real" macro mechanisms such as Scheme. He's a functional-language type of guy. Basically, Order is an interpreter that is implemented on top of a continuation machine. -Paul
