Look ma, it is a ninja! and he/she does metaprogrammin'!!!
But ma, why so ugly? Well honey, he's made of programmer art, it is very meta. He also talks about fruit and stuff:
Programming languages are measured largely by their expressiveness. If the problem you are trying to solve deals with apples, a programming language made of oranges will add unnecessary complexity. Historically, language makers deal with this problem by adding as many fruits to their language as humanly possible. Which still fails when you a get a problem related to vegetables. Vegetable people are forced then to put together a bunch of fruits and try to make it look like veggies. These are called libraries, which are forced to sacrifice a lot of expressiveness because of the strong smell of fruit imposed by the owners of the language. Some others have it worse, because their problems are related to spaceships and there is no way of making one of those out of fruit, unless millions and millions of fruit are used.
And so, the new compiler is already up, and the brand new address is:
www.metaprogramming.ninja
There is also documentation at: https://github.com/xs-admin/Excess/wiki with a bunch of examples and stuff.
So, somebody use it now!!
