masak so, I was thinking 13:12
a lot of the things we want working in 007 (and Perl 6) long term have to do with the compiler infrastructure providing useful interfaces and extension points to the macro/slang writer 13:13
in other words, we want to make the language implementation *pluggable* 13:14
that in itself may be a fairly minor insight, but I don't recall ever thinking about it that way before

I don't remember, maybe you can help me a bit -- where did Ipso fall short? 19:37
macros but no syntax, right? 19:38
ah no, no macros
you didn't go through with macros in Ipso because you felt, as it had no syntax, that it wouldn't bring many interesting things, right?
