" summary

Timeline shows a 2011 prototype then a rewrite into a Lis‑macro style core that trades global injection for explicit macros and module require; claims focus on productivity, extensibility, compatibility and concurrency; concrete tooling includes Hex, Ecto, ex shell, dbg tracing and concurrency testing with Concuerror; versions noted (0.5, 0.4.3) and a planned 0.15 logger; proposals include discriminated unions, richer comprehensions, streams and parallel for, and many ideas are already implementable as libraries.
