I've looked at it, and built some of the examples. I haven't had time
to do much more, unfortunately. I have some old code I had working on
JPI that I need to port to 'real' 32-bit, that I'd like to try out.

In terms of capability it looks pretty neat. Direct-to-SOM, etc. You
can use it to write objects for the desktop, and the bindings appear
to all be there. It appears to be where some C/C++ compilers aspire
to be. I also haven't been able to check out performance of the
generated code.
