Its not C Jim, not as we know it. (Score 1)

This language is as much a C language as C++ or Perl is. No 'int', no 'long', no 'char *'. It only provides a variant (generic) 'var' type. Its a C-like language, but not spectacularly advanced. Fine if we had it 10 years ago but theres much more useful languages out there. Heck, you could compile C to Java byte code and have something debuggable and probably more useful, but as everyone will ask - why?
