    Is it just me, or is his pseudo-assembly language just a funny way to poke fun at MagLev (and all the rejoicing surrounding its announcement)?

    So, in essence, Zed has come up with a dynamic front-end for the GNU Lightning assembler?

    The gulf between what seems like a jit assembler grafted to Ruby/DL and a jit compiler for a language like Ruby seems vast. Cool project. Predicting it isn't going to change the world, any more than Zed's "makefile for printed books".
